We all love alcohol food pairings. Be it pizza and beer, crispy chicken and rum, roasted nuts and brandy, we ship all of them. So, you can only imagine our ecstasy when some of our favorite dishes and alcohol actually come together. It’s like the baby of our favourite couple. And guess what, you can find some of them right here in Mumbai!
Pizza with vodka flambe at Pizza By The Bay: Pizza By The Bay has been on top of the list for all pizza lovers and now it’s embracing alcohol lovers too. Any classic pizza can come with a flambe which means heated alcohol is poured on top of the pizza to give it a nice boozy, smoky flavour. You can choose from rum, brandy, vodka and gin for this boozy pizza, which’ll come to you at approximately 1,200 rupees.
Beer Fondue at Myxx: Myxx has figured exactly what Mumbai wants to eat. It’s paav and cheese and beer. Their Swiss cheese fondue is infused with beer and is consumed with garlic rosemary coated buns. It’s a pretty good deal at 500 rupees. Cheesy and boozy – could it be any better?
Vodka Shot Pani Puri at Mumbai Vibe: Half a dozen puris at this bar can get you quite tipsy, because each puri comes with a vodka shot. It’s your ordinary paani puri with an alcoholic twist and boy, do we love it. However, the pricing isn’t as street as the dish. It can cost you up to 700 rupees, so be prepared to burn a hole in your wallet.
Brandy Infused Raan at Masala Library: Raan, slow-cooked to perfection with strong Indian flavors and then flambeed with brandy, sounds like all our dreams come true. Masala Library takes it up a notch by serving crispy garlic naans to accompany this delectable dish. It’ll set you back about 1,500 rupees per plate but good things come at a price.
Ice Creams that can give you a buzz at Haute Artisan Creations: Chivas Regal, Old Monk, Smirnoff and Bacardi White Rum, you can pick your poison at Haute Artisan, Powai so that they can smoothly blend it into beautiful scoops of ice cream. 200 rupees per scoop is a little expensive, but hey, there’s alcohol in it.
