An collaboration which was instant 6 yrs ago in #Mumbai and having them plan a fun night in your own city, I couldn't have missed it. Bangalore is known as the pub city and its filled with places that you can stop over for a quick catch up over a beer or Long Island Ice Tea :-)
It was when Saloni and Sameer planned a fun evening to meet and know fellow f&b lovers from bangalore, the #FBAIDrinksBarCrawl idea popped up. We all love our poison but how much do we know about them? We all have our favourite "adda" but how much do we explore what's best they have? Thats the whole idea that Sameer had come up with as he himself loves his food and alcohol. So we had 3 pit stops in the ever happening area of #Bengaluru - Indiranagar
the first pit stop - Glocal Junction
Joining us at Glocal were my fellow bloggers and alcohol lovers. Mitali Tandon from Morning Fresh, Roshan from Aspri Spirits and fun couple - Sameer & Saloni from #FBAI Mumbai
First drink that was served to us was a very refreshing drink, something that you can have it just like any other sweet liqueur. On a hot sunny day by the poolside or beach with a glass of Aperol is just perfect. Aperol - is the perfect aperitif which has bitter and sweet oranges and many other herbs (including rhubarb) and roots in perfect proportions. here is the cocktail recipe that we were served. do try it at home and let me know ur views on the taste. If you arent a cocktail person then just have it neat :-)
Aperol Spritz:
Ingredients:
ICE AND A SLICE OF ORANGE
3 PARTS OF CINZANO PROSECCO
2 PARTS OF APEROL
1 SPLASH OF SODA
Method:
Start by adding ice into the glass then pour in the Prosecco, the Aperol and add a splash of soda, top with a slice of orange. This serving avoids the Aperol settling at the bottom.
We also munched on some small plates as the Tokri Chaat and Dynamite Prawns, which just well perfect with the drink.
Second Pit Stop - Bootlegger
Honestly it's one of my favourite joints in Indiranagar for a friday night which has decent crowd and live dj music. And yes it was a serious #barcrawl as now we were welcomed with the well known - Stolichnaya Vodka with some lip smacking small plates and my pick was the Spiced Fries. The cocktail which was served by Vedant the mixologist was with the base of #Vodka with Herbs like Rosemary, brown sugar and topped it off with Cherry Bitters. Oh! we were not yet done. the last stop was waiting to welcome us.
Third Pit stop - Sly Granny
Perfect place not just for weekends but any day of the week if you want to chill and enjoy the rooftop with your favourite posion, good music and delicious food then this is the place to be. For our surprise the last drink was served was a shot by Patrons XO. We ended our night there with loads of selfies, conversations and shots.
And to save us all from the hangover we had Mitali who took care of it with her very own creation - Morning Fresh. Thanks to it that next day "Monday" didn't seem to have any blues and was bright and fresh.
During the crawl we learnt about the drinks and a bit of the history along with it. A awesome initiative by #FBAI mumbai team in making this happen.
Do follow #FBAIDrinks on Insta and Facebook to know more about new waterholes in our city and also about upcoming events.
Check out these pit stops if yo havent been there.. and let me know your experience. Cheers!!

Nita - It felt so good to see that you are still blogging about food/restaurants. Most of our friends from our time have either stopped or are infrequent (like me). I need to find some mojo to blog again. Not sure when but inspired by you, I will start small to shake off that well settled inertia to cook/photograph/write about food.
