A deliciously downable cocktail – one of many populating the knock-out Permit Room cocktail list. Here, inspired by (and named after) the roundly-loved Mango Lassi. Made with creamy-cool yoghurt, spicy mango syrup and Old Monk Rum – a Bombay favourite – for an unexpected but welcome punch.
Permit Room pays homage to the permit rooms of 1970s Bombay, which sprang up after the 1949 Prohibition Act made licences mandatory to get a drink in the city. Within these permitted drinking establishments, liquor was sold and imbibed, strictly ‘for the goodness of one’s health’. Our daru-wallas heartily concur.
