In these hot summer season, where Mumbai’s temperature is touching 38’c to 40’c every day.

Now let’s move to their menu-

Beverages

Torafuku –

 It’s a mix juicy shake of banana and pineapple. The Mocktail came in a ceramic pickle jar with a cherry balanced in a slit banana as a garnish, quite interesting.

Berry Wine Popsicles
A raspberry ice cream dolly dunked in a glass of Sula Chenin Blanc... boy was that Popsicle drunk! Along with the Wine ice cream float came a small bowl of berry caviar to be added to the drink. The berry & vanilla blend well with the fruity notes of the wine, gives you quite a sweet flavor, while the caviar gave it a nice sourness.

Minty Orange Tequila Smash- 

Wow! It’s bubbling and smoking U -shape test tube presentation categorically let your craving for a sip. Its mix of tequila & triple sec along with fresh mint, orange wedges, cracked ice, topped with homemade spiced orange lemonade.
