Bhagat Halwai, a name synonymous with tradition and taste, has unveiled its exquisite Ghewar Collection to celebrate the spirit of the monsoon and the upcoming festive season. From being an essential part of the traditions and festivities in Teej and Rakshabandhan to simply indulging a sweet craving, Bhagat Halwai’s ghewar embodies the joy of togetherness and the timeless love for authentic Indian sweets.
The specially curated collection includes a delightful variety of flavours: Sada Ghewar, Malai Ghewar, Kesar Ghewar, Kesar Malai Ghewar, Mango Ghewar, and Chocolate Ghewar, each crafted to perfection, wrapped in ghee, love, and legacy.
“For generations, ghewar has been the taste of celebration at Bhagat Halwai. It’s a monsoon delight that brings families together, steeped in tradition yet evolving with time. It's mandatory to carry sweets during Teej to the homes of sisters and daughters. They are also exchanged during Rakshabandhan. Gradually, this has spread widely in the entire North India and here people prefer to buy this on the day of Raksha Bandhan. Our new collection pays tribute to this legacy while introducing exciting flavours for today’s discerning customers,” said Shivam Bhagat, Director, Bhagat Halwai.
With its rich texture and irresistible taste, Bhagat Halwai’s ghewar continues to hold a special place in the hearts of sweet lovers. As the festive season approaches, the brand invites everyone to savour the authentic flavours of their heritage sweets.
“At Bhagat Halwai, we believe love for ghewar stays timeless. With every bite, we hope our customers feel the same warmth and joy that has defined our sweets for decades. Buyers specifically seek out ghewar because it’s a seasonal delicacy, known for its incredible taste and convenient shelf life. It’s also very handy, available in a variety of sizes, from half-kilogram portions to mini and bite-sized single-serve variants,” added Riddhi Bhagat, Strategic Director, Bhagat Halwai.
Celebrate the season with Bhagat Halwai’s Ghewar Collection, a perfect blend of tradition and indulgence.

SOCIAL, India’s favourite neighbourhood café-bar, is raising a toast with the launch of The Big Drop – Peena Edition, a bold new drinks menu celebrating 11 years of community, creativity, and cocktails. Designed to match every table, mood, and adda, the Peena Edition reimagines India’s evolving drinking culture with a mix of nostalgia, playfulness, and accessibility.
From timeless classics that ease into afternoon conversations to innovative formats and shareable pitchers that fuel evening catch-ups, the new menu ensures something for every kind of guest. Inspired by India’s everyday social spaces, from quarter bars and kattas to thekas and toddy shops, the menu blends old-school familiarity with SOCIAL’s unmistakable modern twist.
SOCIAL’s iconic creations such as the Longest Long Island Iced Tea (LLIIT) and Banarasi Patiala have long been crowd favourites. The Peena Edition carries that legacy forward with new-age icons like the Longest Long Island Iced Coffee (LLIIC) and the quirky SOCIAL Lubes range, including SOCIAL Emotions, Lifaafa, and Candy Crush drinks that are as photogenic as they are flavourful.
Innovation extends beyond the ingredients to the experience itself. Cocktails wrapped like candy, test-tube shots, and towering coffee jars make every serve interactive and shareable. Starting at just ₹395, the Peena Edition stays true to SOCIAL’s belief that great cocktails should be both creative and approachable.
OG: Longest Long Island Iced Coffee (LLIIC) – 750ml of coffee-spiked indulgence.
SOCIAL Lubes: Playful formats that bottle moods – SOCIAL Emotions (Zen AF, Weird Flex, Delulu, Aura), Lifaafa (served in a post-office pouch), and Candy Crush (a candy-wrapped cocktail).
Sangria Pitchers: Shareable and bold – variants like Cosmo Berry, Tropical Twist, House Spice, Java, Rita.
Squad Shots & Liqueurs: High-energy serves such as SOCIAL Kami Krazy test-tube shots and the explosive SOCIAL Bomb.
The Classics: SOCIAL’s twist on favourites including Espresso Martini, Negroni, Daiquiri, Paloma, Manhattan, and Old Fashioned.
Speaking about the launch, Riyaaz Amlani, Founder & Managing Director, Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality Pvt. Ltd., said, "The Peena Edition of the Big Drop menu is special because it speaks the language of the people. India’s drinking culture has always been about community — from quarter bars and kattas to thekas and toddy shops — and we’ve brought that spirit into a menu built for today. Innovation was needed because people don’t just come to us for what’s in the glass, but for how it makes them feel. The Big Drop captures that spirit in full.”
The Peena Edition complements SOCIAL’s Big Drop Khaana menu, together offering a seamless food-and-drink experience that celebrates how India eats, drinks, and connects today.
