Amrish & Shalini Arora, Shobhaa De and daughter Anindita

Last week Bacchus Beverage Academy (basically the brainchild of Amrish Arora of  Flamboyanté , flash bartender Eric Lobo and sommelier (I finally know what that means) George Varghese.) launched at Flamboyanté, the restaurant in the courtyard of the World Trade Centre, Mumbai.

The New Cocktail Menu at Flamboyanté is a heady mix of tropical fruits and exotic ingredients: Pomegranate Sangria, Sgroppino, Frozen Hawaii, Spider bite, William Tell and Out Of School besides Mojitos, Margeritas and Fruit Smoothies with unusual twist. (I’ll have one of each please!) The drinks menu for the night included organic kokum wine, aam panna, musk melon coolers, coconut water mojitos, jalapeno vodka amongst other exotic coolers. A lavish dinner spread included food stations for Sushi, Dimsums, Thai Rolls, Pizzas, Kebabs, Vodka Panipuri, Cold Salads and Dips, Biryani and Pan Asian Specialities too.

Spotted: Shobhaa De with daughter Aninidta, Mamta Raja, Kamlesh Hemdev, and the ever-so-flamboyant Kishen Mulchandani (how fitting!)
