Desi cocktails to cool down the summer heat

Most of us avoid drinking whisky straight up during summers, especially when the summer in question is an Indian one, where temperatures can soar up to fifty degrees and you need something to cool down.

Wine or whisky, how to choose a drink for the evening?

Its winter. The sun sets early, and the nights are long. The time is ticking, the bar is calling, and dinner is ready to be served at a short notice. The choice of what to drink can be a bit daunting, especially in winters. Wine or Whisky? What will go well with say pre-dinner drinks, along with dinner and what about post dinner? Definitely an intimidating choice to choose from.

The Glorious Tale of The Glenlivet

It all began in 1822, in the isolated and remote Livet valley, located in the Glen Livet district of Speyside, Scotland. This is where the founder, George Smith, learned the craft of distilling the golden tipple, which would go on to be one of the most coveted drinks in the world. Out of sight from the King’s soldiers and the customs officers, George had the time he needed to distil the whisky slowly, and mature it to perfection.
