Monday motivation: Create bar-style cocktails at home in the lockdown

Live Mint  

Can you take leftover bottles of whiskey and basic spirits like rum and gin and create a bar-style cocktail experience at home? The starting point is categorising your bottles into heavy and light spirits: whiskey and dark rum are in the former category, while gin, white rum and vodka are in the latter. Watermelon will be apt for a fruity drink, cucumber with tomatoes for vegetable, raw mango or lime for a tart taste, and ripe mango for those with a sweet tooth, says Santosh Kukreti, founder of advanced bartending school b.art.tenders in Mumbai. Once cooled, add 200 ml of a white spirit like rum, vodka or gin and let it rest for one day for the smoked infusion of chilli and cinnamon to mature.
