Ilegal Mezcal, a leading artisanal mezcal brand, has introduced its newest limited-edition offering, Ilegal Reposado Caribbean Cask Finish. This unique release blends the rich heritage of traditional mezcal with a tropical twist, thanks to the use of Caribbean rum barrels in the aging process.
Crafted in small batches in Oaxaca, Mexico, the Reposado starts its journey in American oak barrels, where it is aged for 4-6 months. After this initial period, the mezcal is transferred to 215 Caribbean rum barrels that previously held 8-year-old rum, where it is finished for up to two months. This final stage of aging imparts notes of tropical fruit, warm spices, caramel sweetness, and butterscotch, adding a new layer of complexity to the mezcal.
Founder John Rexer shared his excitement about this new release, saying, "Ilegal Caribbean Cask Finish takes our Reposado to a new place and speaks to the community blending spirit Ilegal was founded on, marrying the agave-forward character of Ilegal with the vibrant influence of Caribbean rum casks."
The Reposado Caribbean Cask Finish is ideal for sipping neat or adding depth to cocktails, with its nuanced flavors and tropical character. Priced at $45.99, the limited-edition mezcal will be available at select retailers and online.

If you think you’ve seen it all when it comes to cocktails, Brau GALIE in Bengaluru is here to prove you wrong. Pushing boundaries and shaking up the city's cocktail game, this buzzing hotspot has unveiled a bold and inventive range of beer-tequila fusion drinks that are anything but ordinary.
At the helm of this creative wave is Shashank Singh, Brau GALIE’s expert mixologist, who has crafted a menu that marries the fizz of freshly brewed beer with the boldness of tequila—resulting in drinks that surprise, delight, and keep the party going.
Here are four beer-tequila cocktails you have to try at Brau GALIE:
1. The Lagerita: Part Margarita, All Party!
If you’re torn between sipping a zesty margarita or a chilled beer, the Lagerita lets you have both. This cocktail blends smooth tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and tops it off with Brau GALIE’s Munich Lager. It’s fizzy, tangy, and guaranteed to kickstart a good time.
2. Bloody Maria: The Bold Brunch Disruptor
A spicier cousin of the Bloody Mary, this version swaps vodka for tequila and brings in Dunkel Lager6, creating a deep, smoky finish. Infused with tomato juice, lemon, Worcestershire sauce, and a touch of Tabasco, Bloody Maria is the fiery yet balanced rebel that brunch never knew it needed.
3. Spiked Mangoes: A Tropical Tease
Love mangoes? This drink's for you. Spiked Mangoes combines mango purée, lemon juice, and tequila, all finished with a pour of Brau GALIE’s seasonal mango ale. It’s lush, exotic, and refreshing—a tropical vacation in a glass with a grown-up twist.
4. Teqroni: A Smoky, Spirited Remix
Classic cocktail lovers, meet your new favorite. The Teqroni is a daring reimagining of the Negroni, swapping gin for tequila and layering it with Campari, Aperol, and a splash of Sula Shiraz. The result? A rich, citrusy, bittersweet blend with dark berry undertones—served over ice and topped with an orange twist.
Brau GALIE's beer-tequila cocktail lineup is more than just innovative—it’s a testament to Bengaluru’s evolving bar culture and the creativity of local talent. So the next time you’re craving something new, ditch the usual and head to Brau GALIE to raise a glass to bold ideas and brilliant brews.

As International Tequila Day approaches on July 24th, Bangalore’s cocktail lovers are in for a spirited celebration. Across the city, some of the most innovative bars and restaurants are shaking things up, offering tequila creations that go far beyond the classic salt-and-lime pairing.
At CAHOOTS, the mood is theatrical. Known for its dramatic mixology, the lounge introduces three unique tequila cocktails that merge storytelling with flavour. ‘Window Seat’ combines guava and cilantro shrub with elderflower, citrus, and torpedo tincture—resulting in a drink that’s equal parts comforting and mysterious. ‘Smooth Operator’ offers a tropical twist with coconut sous vide tequila, lavender cordial, pineapple, and citrus, while ‘Orient Express’ boldly pairs Schezwan tequila with white sesame syrup, vanilla, and citrus, bridging global palates in every sip.
Over at Brau Galie, the team blends craft beer with agave innovation. ‘Spiked Mangoes’ is a tropical escape in a glass, featuring velvety mango purée, lemon juice, tequila, and a delicate mango ale finish. The bold ‘Lagerita’ fuses margarita staples, tequila, triple sec, and lime juice with a Munich-style lager for an unexpected, party-ready punch.
Yuki, a Pan-Asian favourite, presents tequila through an international lens. From the simplicity of ‘Pandan teq-Tea’ to the vibrant ‘Summer in Osaka’—a stunning mix of toasted coconut, coconut water, matcha crème, and beetroot dust, each drink tells a cross-continental story. ‘Tuk Tuk Tom’ delivers spicy Thai-inspired notes with tom yum extract, parsley, and chilli, while ‘Yuki Picante’ combines pineapple, coriander, lime, and jalapeño for a fiery tribute to tequila’s Mexican roots. And of course, the timeless ‘Margarita’ reminds us why the classic never goes out of style.
Together, CAHOOTS, Brau Galie, and Yuki prove that tequila is not just a drink, but a canvas for creativity. Whether you’re a seasoned tequila fan or looking to try something new, this Tequila Day promises a diverse and exciting journey through flavour, art, and culture, right in the heart of Bangalore.
