Surprise Sips: India's New Omakase Cocktail Craze

Bars in India are increasingly adopting an omakase-style approach, mirroring the Japanese concept of "I leave it to you." This trend allows mixologists to curate personalized cocktails, moving away from fixed menus. Guests simply provide their flavour preferences, spirit choices, and desired intensity, surrendering the decision-making to the bartender.

This concept is gaining traction as it removes the burden of choice for patrons after a long day, offering a unique and experimental dining experience. Bars like Call Me Ten in Delhi utilize short forms to gather guest preferences, allowing for real-time cocktail creation that reflects individual tastes and even nostalgic inspirations.
