India's hot climate makes whisky mature much faster than in Scotland, so young Indian malts taste rich and rounded. Indian single malts now win international awards.
Most whisky sold in India is distilled from molasses and blended with a little malt whisky. In Europe it would legally be called a spirit drink rather than whisky.
Brandy is the best-selling spirit category in South India. Most is molasses-based with added grape spirit and flavouring.
India is one of the world's largest rum markets. Indian dark rums are sweet, vanilla-led and often aged several years; rum with hot water is a classic hill-station winter drink.
A fast-growing category, many made in Goa, using botanicals like Darjeeling tea, Goan cashew, tulsi, kokum and mango.
Goa's heritage spirit with a GI tag. Cashew feni is distilled from the fermented juice of the cashew apple and has a strong, fruity, funky aroma. Urrak is its lighter first distillate.
The world's best-known soft drink, first sold as a tonic at a pharmacy in 1886.
Fizzy water with bitter quinine, once taken against malaria by the British in India, which led to the gin & tonic.
Soda water is plain fizz; mineral water's bubbles may be natural. Unlike tonic, it has no bitterness or sugar.
Spicier and stronger than ginger ale; traditionally brewed with a 'ginger beer plant'.
A sweet, non-alcoholic American soda with vanilla and wintergreen notes.
Still lemonade (US) or fizzy lemonade (UK). Paris had licensed lemonade sellers in the 1600s.
