Putting aside their day jobs as entrepreneurs in music and F&B respectively, Devraj Sanyal and Romil Ratra are all set to try their hand at bartending, using home-made purees, fruits, herbs and spices that pay a modern homage to Asian flavours, as well as a specially curated collection of 30-plus home-made bitters and liquors. Adding to the fun, the two will be competing for the title of The Bitter Bartender. And it's for a good cause too.

The two have selected their three cocktails from the outlet's new cocktail menu called The Infusion List, and will be re-creating them for guests at a BKC eatery who will decide the winner. Ratra's drinks include lavender aviation made with lavender liqueur, lemon and gin and the well-balanced aquavit mule that embraces aquavit blended with vodka, lychee, lime and ginger ale. Sanyal's comparatively lighter selections include the shaken and double-strained Asian highball with kaffir lime liqueur, peach puree and syrup with a dash of whiskey, the platinum negroni made with Earl Grey-infused vodka, sweet vermouth, sambuca and finished with dehydrated grapefruit.
