Diwali is a celebration of light, colour, and joyous gatherings, and what better way to toast the festival than with a cocktail that’s both refreshing and indulgent? Whether you’re hosting an intimate evening with friends or a full-blown Diwali party, a well-crafted drink sets the mood and adds a touch of sophistication to the festivities. Enter the Cocofashioned, a contemporary twist on the classic Old Fashioned, curated by mixologist Harish Chhimwal. With smooth Dewar’s 12-year-old whisky, hydrating coconut water, and a hint of honey, this cocktail is designed to balance warmth and refreshment—perfect for festive evenings. The subtle tang from lemon bitters and the aromatic notes of kaffir lime leaf elevate every sip, making it a conversation starter and a crowd-pleaser.
Elegant yet easy to make, the Cocofashioned embodies the spirit of Diwali—bringing people together over flavours that are both familiar and surprising. Served over ice and garnished with a fragrant kaffir lime leaf, it’s a drink that invites you to slow down, savour the moment, and toast to the season of lights in style.
