From the bartender’s corner: Delhi Dusk

Continuing with the India-themed cocktails.

This is Badam milk (a rich, fragrant Indian drink made from ground almonds, milk, and flavorings like saffron and cardamom) with Smokelabs Vodka (a unique vodka made from basmati rice!) and a dash of Tia Maria coffee liqueur.

Smokelabs is headquartered in Delhi, although the distilleries are in Punjab (and Goa).
