 This summer, Bengaluru's vibrant craft beer scene is celebrating the season’s favourite fruit, mango with two specially curated seasonal brews by Red Rhino Craft Brewery and BLR Brewing Co.

At Red Rhino, beer lovers can sip on the Mango Rosemary Ale, a tropical light malt that strikes a refreshing balance between juicy mango and aromatic rosemary. Clocking in at 8% ABV with a gentle 18 IBU, this ale is crisp and subtly bitter, offering just the right amount of sweetness. Priced at INR 375 for 500 ml, this brew is available only until stocks last at Red Rhino, Bengaluru.

Meanwhile, BLR Brewing Co. presents ‘Aam Ki Baat’, a Mango Saison that blends rich Alphonso mangoes with traditional Belgian Saison. With 5.3% ABV and 15 IBU, this beer offers a fruity, mildly spicy profile that’s both tropical and complex. Priced at INR 450 for 500 ml, it’s available throughout May across all BLR Brewing Co. outlets in Bengaluru.

This World Whiskey Day, celebrated on May 17th, Hamilton invites guests to raise a glass to innovation and indulgence with a one-of-a-kind cocktail — The Governor’s Breakfast.

Crafted by the talented mixologist at Hamilton, this cocktail is a tribute to the most decadent meal of the day, bringing together the richness of a breakfast platter in an elegant glass. Think bacon fat-washed whiskey, zesty orange, tangy lime, a subtle hit of balsamic, and a creamy touch of yogurt — all balanced with maple syrup and Rosso vermouth.

Every sip is bold, savoury, and surprisingly smooth — a cocktail that’s both unexpected and unforgettable.

Ingredients:

  • 50 ml Whiskey (Bacon fat-washed)

  • 20 ml Orange Juice (fresh)

  • 15 ml Lime Juice (fresh)

  • 12.5 ml Maple Syrup

  • 1 ml Balsamic Vinegar

  • 15 ml Plain Yogurt (unsweetened)

Bacon Fat-Washing Method:
Combine whiskey and 10 ml bacon fat in a sealed container. Let it infuse in the fridge for 6 hours. Then strain through a coffee filter to clarify.

To Prepare:
Add all ingredients into a mixing glass. Use the throwing technique — pouring back and forth between two tins — to aerate and emulsify. Serve over an ice block in an old-fashioned glass.

Garnish:
A crisp rolled bacon strip.
