Please read thru at your discretion. We won't be held liable if you turn into a Devdas after reading this, Though do share Paro's address with us! ( added by the wifey - What about Chandramukhi!!! Good point! How could I forget her!! ) Starting with some of mine - 1) Captain and Cola - Possibly the greatest find since 2009 for myself. Though I was not a regular on it, but towards the end of 2010 it became the de-riguer. Best had with lots of ice, a dash of Diet Coke and some water and a lemon slice for flavour. 2) Chhaach - Buttermilk - is only the next best thing after Captain, since it helps get over with the Captain's influence, and helps keep me cool as well during hot summer days. 3) Kokum and Soda - A recent find, however is great in summers as a cooler. Kokum fruit/flower extract, mixed with Soda and topped with ICE. Great grear refresher, and much more organic than other options. 4) Forever Favourite - Rooh-ofza!!! - That glass bottle ( prone to shattering easily ) is still the same, the damn sticker has not changed, and neither has the excessive sugar content!. But you aint born in India / lived in India if you've not had it!!! In milk or water, with lemon or salt, there have been endless variations on it, but Rooh-Ofza still rules in my books!!! 5) Shikanji ( Lemon soda ) - The best at Jain Shikanji in ModiNagar U.P. , however still the best beverage to have. Natural, with lots of spices, that ensure your body salt levels stay intact during summers. Muah! 6) Coffee - Something that I got hooked onto during my recent trip to U.S. However the hangover has mellowed down slightly ( purely due to the same flavor/feel not being available ). But I would rate South Indian Filter coffee as the next best thing to happen! RajaPraveen - Still remember that coffee we had in Chennai!!
Buttermilk Thumbs up Filter Coffee from saravana bhavan (same coffee that JD tasted when he was in Chennai) Fruit Juices without added sugar Ice Lemon Tea Lemon Salt and Soda Sugar cane juice with ginger diluted with lots of ice and really cold water http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jil_jil_jigarthanda Padaneer(not kallu, the juice in fresh form mixed with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borassus_flabellifer)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_wine
Ooh Ooh, I just remembered another one - - Port Wine from Goa - those cheap 100-150 rs bottles that are available there. Sweet and Potent stuff!!!
The best combo for me are !! JD with Pepsi !! lotsa of ice. Vodka with Tomato juice and tabasco salt and black pepper !! I have lots and lots of other Concoctions with alcholol but won't list them here or the list will be endless. Buttermilk Lassi NimbuPaani ( home made with masala ) Sugar cane juice Neera and many more..
Lassi with roasted cumin seeds and coriander leaves: yes, when i am in delhi, i want delhi people to make it for me. Coconut water Redbull: may be once in two month or so, that thing is bad for teeth. Grape fruite juice: best juice in the world Sugar cane juice: second best juice in the world Perrier: a bit gay drink, but you can act french if you are having it.
It has to be super chilled !! and iuts the best combo in the world.. many times over btw, where did you find @JD ?
Am a COLA FIEND . add Chat masala to it & its like Ecstasy There isn't a week where i missed ice'd Tea for over 3 months now -_-
