What if a cocktail could tell the story of an Indian region? 403 Forbidden Bar in Bengaluru is bringing this idea to life with Decode India, a new cocktail collection by founder Aman Dua that explores the country's landscapes, ingredients and culinary traditions through contemporary mixology.

Inspired by five distinct regions: Ambarsar, Kathiawar, Narmada, Malabar and Patkai, the collection brings regional flavours into the glass through techniques such as fat washing, distillation, clarification, carbonation, infusion and lacto fermentation.

Each cocktail draws inspiration from different ingredients and flavour combinations. Ambarsar offers a warm and comforting blend of sesame fat washed rum, jaggery shrub, salt lassi foam and sesame jaggery candy. Kathiawar takes a different approach, combining gin, regional herb distillate, salinity and edible sand for a dry and effervescent drink.

Narmada brings together blanco tequila, Mahabaleshwar strawberry, Goan Portuguese vinegar, Jwala chilli and suva khakhra crisp, combining fruity, tangy and spicy notes. Meanwhile, Malabar offers an aromatic mix of clarified blended Scotch whisky, puli karupatti cordial, Tellicherry pepper tincture, Pondi parmesan and white chocolate.

Completing the collection, Patkai features timur and Kolkata paan leaf infused blanco tequila, lacto fermented bamboo shoot, cooked rice and king chilli. Together, the five cocktails highlight how regional ingredients and culinary influences can shape new drinking experiences.

Beyond the cocktail menu, the bar also introduces the Decode Session, a 75-minute guided sensory experience available by reservation. During the session, guests explore all five cocktails while learning about the flavours, textures, preparation techniques and regional inspirations behind each creation. The experience offers a closer look at the creative process behind the collection, allowing guests to understand how familiar Indian ingredients can be used in contemporary cocktails.

With Decode India, 403 Forbidden Bar brings regional Indian flavours and modern cocktail-making techniques together in one collection. The menu invites guests to discover different parts of the country through ingredients and combinations that reflect their culinary traditions and cultural influences.
