The combination of Valrhona Caraïbe chocolate and our house-made salted whipped caramel creates a dessert that feels both familiar and memorable,” she explains.

Where the Himalayas Meet the Bottle: Kumaon & I

Crafted as India’s first premium provincial dry gin, Kumaon & I by Himmaleh Spirits is a love letter to the mountains of Uttarakhand. Built on a farm-to-bottle philosophy, the gin brings together eleven traceable botanicals including wild Himalayan juniper, timur pepper, black turmeric, kalmegh, thuner, walnuts, rose petals, cardamom, and galgal… each carefully sourced to reflect the region’s ecological richness and cultural memory.

Jin Jiji: India’s Zest for Life in a Glass

Distilled in the foothills of Uttarakhand and inspired by the Sanskrit philosophy of jijivisha—a zest for life—Jin Jiji captures India’s biodiversity in its most expressive form. Crafted with wild Himalayan juniper, tulsi, chamomile, Goan cashew, and a carefully curated blend of native botanicals, the gin is a celebration of India’s sensory diversity.

Recently crowned World’s Best Gin and Spirit of the Year (India) at the 2025 London Spirits Competition, Jin Jiji has positioned itself as a benchmark for Indian craft spirits on the world stage.

Meanwhile, the Sabai Sundowner blends gin with rambutan, ginger flower nectar, bael leaf, and lime, capturing the layered aromatics of the region.

Meanwhile, the Sorbet 75 takes a brighter route, pairing blueberry sorbet with sparkling wine in a playful, elegant cocktail topped with frozen fruit. Distinct in personality yet united by gin’s botanical complexity, the two drinks perfectly capture Adelina’s philosophy: cocktails crafted with intention, creativity, and a touch of magic in every sip.
