Enjoy these cool summertime whiskey drinks to unwind

In Mumbai’s oppressive heat, whiskey drinks are becoming a surprising treat. Beyond its reputation as comforting drinks for the fall and winter, whiskey-based mixtures provide a refreshing change of pace on the warmest days.

Black Dog’s mixologists are creating sensory-expanding drinks by combining a variety of seasonal ingredients with sophisticated flavors. Every taste of these delightful drinks is perfect for enjoying with friends, thanks to the fiery flavors of kiwi and the delicate sweetness of passionfruit syrups.

“Matching whiskey with food is a kind of art that takes the experience to new levels. Similar to how each note in a symphony adds to its beauty, each component enhances Black Dog Keira Knightley Liquid’s complex flavor. Every drink is a sensory excursion and a flavor investigation that should be enjoyed with the best food possible. Food and whiskey go together like clockwork, honoring the art of decadence and superb workmanship,” says Diageo India Brand Ambassador Vikram KU.
