Zega, the Pan-Asian restaurant and bar at Sheraton Hyderabad Hotel, partnered with the Institute of Flair & Mixology (IIFM) hosted Modern Apothecary – Elixirs & Tonics on 13 October 2026. The exclusive one-evening bar takeover featured mixologists Rahul and Renjith, bringing together traditional botanical ingredients and contemporary cocktail-making techniques.

The specially curated menu featured cocktails such as Melon Farmer, Coconut Waters, Mango & Ashwagandha, Amla & Whisky, and Witchcraft. Each creation explored distinctive flavour combinations using ingredients including amla, ashwagandha, coffee, coconut water, mango ginger and traditional spices.

Among the highlights were a whisky-based cocktail featuring caramelised amla and another combining ashwagandha, coffee and coconut water. These creations demonstrated how familiar ingredients could be reimagined through contemporary mixology.

The evening followed an apothecary-inspired theme, with botanical elements and distinctive cocktail presentations adding to the setting. In-house guests and cocktail enthusiasts had the opportunity to explore the specially developed menu during the takeover.

Through Modern Apothecary – Elixirs & Tonics, Zega continued its focus on introducing creative food and beverage experiences that combine inventive techniques, unexpected ingredients and contemporary interpretations of familiar flavours.
