A bottle of champagne and a platter full of mithai, and ready to wage war on both? Calories don’t count and neither do the number of pours, no excuses needed for all the fried food your devour, laddoos you chomp, or wine that just goes missing (yeah, we know it’s like magic!).
The festive vibes are gushing in and with parties aplenty, tipples free-flowing, and mithais unlimited, indulgence is at an all time high. You know there’s no better way to celebrate than with drinks in one hand and desserts in the other. Amalgamating tipple times and sugar rush in a glass, we bring to you three splendid shakes that you would want to relish and chug at the same time. If it brings a hangover, worry not, it doubles as the solution too (nothing better than hair of the dog; hic). #DSSCRecommends three sinfully boozy shakes that you ought to give a whirl this season.
