We often get orders for them when patrons are done with the meals. Such cocktails are a definite change. We pitch our own tea-based cocktail when people are fed up of iced tea, which most bars have that on offer. As it is a different concept, we have to educate people by usually saying, &lsquo;why don&rsquo;t you give it a try and if you don&rsquo;t like it, there are no charges&rsquo;. In fact, we&rsquo;ve never got a denial from a customer.&rdquo; Eluther Gomes, Head Bartender at The Daily
