All things ice

Now with the city taking baby steps towards reopening establishments, restaurants are pulling out all the stops to woo customers back. And The Finch in Andheri East has gone all guns blazing, roping in master mixologist Ron Ramirez to host a workshop on a signature sub-zero ice series of drinks this weekend. These rely on flavoured ice cubes to add zing to cocktails, and Bangkok-based Ramirez tells us, "The more they melt, the more they add flavour to the drink. I don't think that this has been done in India before. It's not like the normal drinks you have, where they become weaker as the ice melts."
One example he offers is The bird cage, a cocktail made with white tequila, which has chilli-flavoured ice cubes in it. Ramirez adds that he has a culinary background, which reflects in the drinks he conjures up. They are somewhat complicated, he admits, but still, check out the recipe alongside and find out how you fare.
