Sorano, the Italian fine dining den on Ho Chi Minh Sarani plans to make dining more fun with a new range of cocktails. The menu goes by the theme of ‘Beyond the Liquid’ and explores a plethora of ingredients that are generally not what you think of when it comes to cocktails.
“Calcutta is a vivacious city with a penchant for the new, so F&B brands need to cater to niche tastes and evolving desires. Alongside our authentic Italian cuisine,we have been a house of innovative craft cocktails since the beginning and this time, we want to disrupt the cocktail culture brewing in the city. Roping in a head mixologist with international experience and revolutionary creative thinking has been key in realising this next step for the brand. Every cocktail connoisseur is constantly seeking something better than what they had yesterday and our new signature cocktails are the drink of tomorrow,” said Saket Agarwal, partner, ManifestHospitality.
