DSSC Recommends: Meet Your Cocktail Soulmate At The Fatty Bao

As The Fatty Bao explores beneath the surface with its Root to Fruit cocktails, we dig deeper with some top tipples+soul searching and present to you your cocktail soulmate.

The Fatty Bao, Delhi has been serving up some ace tipples this season with their Root to Fruit story. To go with its smashing fare the Asian gastro bar is pouring a new adventure into our glasses, using everything from the root to the fruit of plants to make each sip more zany! As the Tao of the Bao goes, ‘If you can’t touch the tallest branch, then reach for the roots’- infusing the flowers, rolling the roots, stirring the stems, and mixing seeds, pods, and leaves is how they’re shaking & stirring Delhi’s tipple times this season.

Having downed one too many of these stunners ourselves, we decided to put a DSSC spin on the Tao and reach for the roots that go right up to our souls! While it ain’t right to skip even one of the knockouts on the menu, if you feel a little too spoilt for choice we suggest you go with your tipple twin- a cocktail that’s basically you poured into a glass. A simple Gin & Tonic or the complicated Commonwealth, shaken or stirred- it’s time to find out whether you’ve been bang on or all off about your cocktail personality type.

 

Mi-so-Happy x The Forever Chuffed Puff

Are you the one bringing cheer to the party called life? If there’s forever a song and a smile on those lips, and a spring in that step then this mix of vodka, miso mustard jam, lime, ginger, and soda is your liquid version. You carry a mean dose of confidence, not fearing what life serves you, you’re a master of the art of living in the moment and always have a trick up your sleeve to make things work out. Hail, storm, or thunder if you’re the one whose mojo never wavers and your chuffed vibes turn others’ frowns upside down too, the Mi-so-Happy and you are designed for each other!

 

Kim-Back-Too x The Thrill Seeker

“I don’t do drugs, I am drugs”. If you live by these words by Dali, you’re twinning with the Root To Fruit presentation Kim-Back-Too. Fret not, a certain Southeast Asian leader named Kim is neither the inspiration for this cocktail nor your personality match (so we hope!). Adventure is all you breathe, smell, see, feel, and taste, seeking it in every tiny experience of life-whether it’s buying a pencil or Volcano Boarding. You’re wildly independent & courageous, crush society norms to feed that wanderlust, and your love for thrill most likely made you famous as the high-spirited hell raiser as a teen. With that buzz about you, you don’t need much to get the party started any time, any day-just why this duo of vodka with Kimchi-back is your cocktail represent-power packed shots which never fail to take you on a thrill ride.

 

Popcorn Sour x Mr. (Ms.) Mean Business

For all you strong & serious Sams out there, who prefer to keep it traditional, this whiskey sour with a twist is like looking into the mirror. You lean on the reserved side, are ferociously loyal and expect the same from the peeps around you, though your no-holds-barred way of expressing feelings is a good thing it sometimes gets a tad bit much for the rest to digest. You have a refined taste and know what you like, and more importantly, what you don’t like. As that streak of ambition shines through, you never shy away from trying new things in life- and so this concoction of popcorn infused whiskey, earl grey bitter, lime, chamomile syrup, and egg white screams ‘You’ as it’s strong but also so darn swell!

 

TaMatcha x The Drama Queen

If life is an emotional roller coaster, then you’re the one who loves to pull the lever to get that ride roaring. If you love to channel your inner Drama Mama and rise to the occasion when the spotlight settles on you, TaMatcha could just as well serve as your name tag. Sugar and spice and all things nice is all well and good, but you like life spiked with a pinch of drama. Your emotions often come before logic, which leads to tricky situations now and then, but you unabashedly savour those! Your love for attention makes you exude charm like none other, your moods can change rather swiftly, you have a rich imagination which helps when you narrate those entertaining stories-and a mash-up of rum, matcha syrup, lime, basil, and soda rolled into TaMatcha fits like a glove with that snappy personality!

 

Muay Thai X The Support System

muay-thai

The rock, the loyal friend, the guardian. Resonate with these? Then the Muay Thai is your drink. You’re dependable and practical in your relationships, yet don’t think twice before going the extra mile for loved ones. You have superhuman conflict resolving skills, never back out after making a commitment and, make for a great listener. As if that weren’t enough, you’re fun to be around too! You juggle being responsible for friends & family and being an ace entertainer better than a 50’s housewife. To go with that near perfect personality is this blend of vodka, sriracha, soy sauce, tom yum lime juice, and tomato- calm & steady yet sneaking in a punch every few sips.

Now that you’ve identified your tipple match in the sea of alcohol, go on, don’t delay meeting your cocktail soulmate any longer!
