The ideology behind creating the Shisha signature menu stemmed from the challenge of making a very successful bar, even more exciting. To match the new ambience of an international club, in the style of its drinks and service. To give it the Shatbhi Basu touch!
My relationship with Kolkata is at best a city I visit every once in a while and enjoy to the fullest its joys and idiosyncrasies. It is from these memories that I picked up the nuances of flavour that we have incorporated into our signature cocktails. Like the Paan Martini – infused with the sweet essence of saunf, supari and paan masala – garnished with either a meetha or saada paan. Or the Aam Shotto Caipirojka with its fresh burst of delicate mango. And then my favourite, the Spicy Khejur Gud & Apple Mojito. Bold, brash yet extremely addictive.
The next change was to ensure every cocktail that left the bar had a wow effect. From the simplest Bloody Mary to a frozen Margarita or Long Island Iced Tea – each should excite the senses as well as the taste buds. Finally, add new dimensions to some all-time favourites. So came the different flavours of Caipirojkas & Mojitos, fresh takes on Margaritas, Daiquiris & Moskowskis and some funky influences on the Long Island Iced Tea.
Enjoy!
