Gin lovers, here’s the first abode to enjoy the drink in your city
- Published by Sofitel
Shaken or stirred?
Though James Bond’s “shaken, not stirred” is probably the most famous Martini quote in the world, some bartenders disagree and would recommend a stirred one instead. But we think it’s all the same until the much-loved fine spirit (we’re talking about gin!) is involved.
Consumed during the day or night, for afternoon lunches or over networking dinners, gin derives its predominant flavour from juniper berries; and a large number of cocktails call for it and naming a few would only be scratching the surface. The best part is, Mumbaikars, the first gin bar just opened in your city.
The French boutique hotel, Sofitel in BKC has unveiled a new liquor bar at its signature restaurant, Jyran – Tandoor Dining and Lounge. The bar has an innovative menu with more than 30 labels of gin, including Le Gin de Christian Drouin, Stranger and Sons, Star of Bombay, Cotswolds Dry Gin and so on.
Coupled with stylish service, the gins have been curated with eight homemade infusions like saffron, chamomile and rosemary. Savour the flavours punching through your taste buds.
The classic spirit may have been developed in London (and made immensely famous, thanks to Bond’s preferential Vesper Martini), we know for a fact that it’s making its way through the hospitality space around the world. And believe us when we say it’s your go-to drink when you’re stuck in a crowd of aficionados and haven’t done your research well. Don’t know what the fancy names on the menu mean? Gin cocktails, gin and tonic and others from the family are equal parts fancy, enjoyable and delicious (that’s a truth).
Look at it this way. You want a beverage that incites curiosity, but also evokes nostalgia and gives you a pleasant experience altogether. And that’s something you get when everything goes just the right way. The BarChefs at Sofitel are adept at curating a concoction of drinks, taking into consideration your unique taste and preference. One particular flavour that you tried months ago may not have agreed with you, but it doesn’t mean you should be afraid to try another.
It’s one of the broadest categories of spirit with various styles and flavour profiles. But no gin and tonic of high quality can be prepared without good quality of tonic water. The Gin Bar by Jyran is enthused to give you the experience and quality you deserve by reinventing perceptions about the drink and also bringing back the culture of this fine spirit that originated in the middle ages from herbal medicines (yes!). You’ve found the abode to indulge in the right kind (and amount) of the much-loved classic spirit, right in the heart of the city, with the Gin Bar by Jyran at Sofitel Mumbai BKC.
