Guru. Genius. Legend-wait for it-dary! Face it. The official star at any party is, and always will be, the bartender. And what makes a great behind-the-counter guy (or gal) is his or her uncanny ability to consistently pour out the daring and delicious. For all you first-time/ wannabe bartenders out there, What’s Up Bangalore presents a few sure-shot recipes for success. And for others looking to live up to their drink-mixing reputations, it’s time to try something fresh and creative. If you’re scratching your head and wondering what we’re going on about… well, read on.
Partners-in-crime Chocolate and alcohol have had a love affair from time immemorial. But like any great union, you need to know how to mix them in just the right measures.
