Let’s discuss about the drinks we tried:

Jungle Bird:

The Jungle Bird is a tropical cocktail that combines the sweetness of pineapple juice with the richness of dark rum. It typically includes Campari, a bitter Italian liqueur, which adds complexity and balances out the sweetness. The cocktail is often garnished with a pineapple wedge or cherry, adding to its visual appeal.

Manhattan:

A classic cocktail with a timeless appeal, the Manhattan is made with whiskey (usually bourbon or rye), sweet vermouth, and bitters. It’s typically stirred with ice and strained into a chilled cocktail glass, then garnished with a cherry. The combination of whiskey’s warmth and the sweetness of vermouth makes it a sophisticated and satisfying drink.

Zipper:

The Zipper cocktail has a unique twist featuring 1 measure of tequila, 1/2 measure of Grand Marnier, and a hint of light cream, all shaken together and served in a shot glass. The result is a creamy and flavorful shot that combines the boldness of tequila with the sweet citrus notes of Grand Marnier, offering a delightful experience in every sip.

Gin Fizz:

The Gin Fizz is a classic cocktail that’s both light and refreshing. It typically consists of gin, lemon juice, sugar, and soda water. The ingredients are shaken with ice to create a frothy texture, then strained into a glass and topped with soda water. The citrusy flavor of the lemon juice pairs perfectly with the botanical notes of the gin, resulting in a crisp and effervescent drink.

Caipirinha:

The Caipirinha is Brazil’s national cocktail, made with cachaça (a Brazilian spirit similar to rum), lime, and sugar. It’s a simple yet flavorful drink that’s traditionally muddled in a glass with sugar and lime wedges, then filled with ice and cachaça. The tartness of the lime and the sweetness of the sugar balance out the bold flavors of the cachaça, creating a refreshing and vibrant cocktail.

Cosmopolitan:

The Cosmopolitan, or “Cosmo” for short, is a popular cocktail known for its vibrant pink color and fruity flavor. It typically consists of vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice, and freshly squeezed lime juice. The ingredients are shaken with ice and strained into a martini glass, then garnished with a twist of lemon or a lime wedge. The Cosmopolitan is beloved for its balance of sweet and tart flavors, making it a refreshing and sophisticated choice for any occasion.

We had a delightful time at 8848.86 Bar, along with the drinks we also had various mouthwatering dishes from Durbar Restro. Various snacks and desserts can be ordered from Durbar Restro at the 8848.86 Bar. From the flavorful Murgh Zaffarany chicken tikka to the crispy chicken wings, each bite was a burst of deliciousness. The stuffed potato, brimming with cheesy, herby goodness, provided a hearty option. Paired perfectly with refreshing drinks from the bar, the combination elevated our dining experience.

For dessert, we couldn’t resist trying creamy cheesecake and a selection of delightful pastries. Each of them were filled with flavors and added a sweet finale to our meal.
