Rockpool's menu has also undergone an update, focusing on the flavors of Goa and using locally sourced, sustainable ingredients. Signature dishes include favorites like Goan Roasted Recheado Fish, Prawn Balchao, Fried Calamari, Kimchi Spiced Chicken, and Baked Crab. The culinary team stays true to W Goa's mission to offer a sophisticated yet fun dining experience, rooted in social consciousness and local connections. The dishes are crafted to celebrate Goan culture while supporting local farmers and artisans.
In addition to the new food options, Rockpool also offers a selection of signature cocktails to add to the experience. Guests can enjoy drinks like Kokum Collins, OG Rose Sangria, and Ichibigo Ichigo Rickey—all designed to complement the lively atmosphere and sunset views.
Beyond its updated menu and cocktail offerings, Rockpool plans to host a series of special events throughout the season.

Kantala Spirits has introduced Gracia Cero, a new-age beverage that encourages mindful drinking while keeping the joy of social occasions intact. Positioned clearly as not anti-alcohol, Cero supports choice, moderation, and inclusivity, giving consumers the freedom to enjoy gatherings on their own terms.
Gracia Cero stands out as India’s first non-alcoholic agave drink, created for people looking to reset after festive indulgence, take part in Dry January, or simply adopt a more balanced drinking approach. The focus remains on flavour and experience, ensuring that choosing a zero-alcohol option never feels like a compromise.
Designed to fit seamlessly into parties, work events, and everyday social settings, Cero allows everyone at the table to feel included. Whether it’s a casual get-together or a formal gathering, the drink offers a refined alternative that blends in naturally with modern social rituals.
Completely alcohol-free and sugar-free, Gracia Cero contains 0% ABV and just 4 calories per serving. Made using agave, it delivers a clean, refreshing profile without alcohol, making it suitable for those prioritising health, detox routines, or mindful living, while still enjoying a premium beverage.
The brand brings a bold approach to flavour with two distinct variants, Raw ‘n’ Wild Mango and Pineapple Piñata. These flavour-forward options add a playful yet elevated touch, challenging the idea that non-alcoholic drinks need to be plain or predictable.
With Gracia Cero, Kantala Spirits aims to reshape modern drinking culture by offering a guilt-free way to raise a glass. Free from sugary mixers, next-day fatigue, or social pressure, Cero fits effortlessly into evolving lifestyle choices where balance and enjoyment go hand in hand.
