Beat the Heat
This afternoon event was about beating the sweltering heat. Ameya Sharma,assistant manager of tulleeho.com,came to Godrej Nature’s Basket,Aundh,recently to demonstrate the preparation of the best summery drinks this season. Sharma’s bar-tending talents were on full display as he shook the juice,crushed some ice and beat cream skillfully to make classic Orange Julius,an orange-blended chiller,the non-alcoholic Calypso,and Fruity Belvoir with a host of fresh fruits. Basic drinks like Cardinal Punches,Morning Mixers,Natural Snapples and fruit smoothies were on the agenda as well. Making mocktails is like cooking,it is a wide platform to experiment with. A variety of fruits,herbs and spices can be put in a mocktail for a summery twist, said Sharma,whose imagination has earlier led him to make a mocktail with sabja or tulsi seeds,which he blended with aam panna and a hint of star anise.
