By and large, cocktails and environmental friendliness don’t go hand in hand. From sourcing and shipping the bulk of fresh produce around the globe to the reckless waste of gourmet ingredients, there are numerous concerns thinly disguised beneath that (truly captivating) Cosmopoliton. The demand for natural resource conservation and waste reduction grows with each passing year. But, with cocktails becoming a mainstay with home aficionados and professional bartenders, how can we reduce the environmental impact? If yes, can we make them even more delicious in the process?

In the case of cocktails, this means reducing food waste by adopting eco-conscious techniques and purchasing ingredients grown locally, organically, and ethically. Or rather, embrace the garden-to-glass cocktail craft by picking ingredients from your own organic garden.

TheGlitz presents 5 easy yet unique cocktail recipes that are guaranteed to make your next house party a big hit with your eco-conscious buddies. The ingredients used will not only elevate the flavour of your cocktails but are also easily available in your pantry, so you don’t have to go ingredient hunting. These cocktails are diligently curated by Yangdup Lama and Disha Mankikar, India’s finest mixologists from Diageo, to tantalise your tastebuds.

Get ready to pick your favourite spirit and indulge in these delightful, eco-friendly cocktail recipes that exemplify the harmony between indulgence and sustainability. Let’s toast to a greener future together this World Environment Day.
