A dark’n’stormy rides a moscow mule to an Indian restaurant …

Serves 1

A zingy, mango mule-alike mocktail that brings the spicy kick of Indian street food to a highball glass

This was one of the first cocktails on the menu when we opened Fatt Pundit back in 2019. It pays homage to the many street-side carts that sell fresh mango in a spice mix of salt, pepper and red chillies – it’s sweet, spicy and savoury, as well as unique and delicious.

An old fashioned and then some, with extra spice, jaggery for sweetness and a ghee-washed bourbon for a richly Indian-flavoured finish

A decidedly rich and decadent take on the classic, accented by Indian flavours. The bourbon mix and syrup both make enough to serve 15, but both keep well in the fridge. To save on waste, save the strained ghee for baking – it will add a boozy sweetness to all sorts. Ghee-washed bourbon pancakes, anyone?
