 Its #ThirstyThursday and I couldnt blog about Bollywood without a good ol Bollywood cocktail. This is perfectly titled "Bollywood" Perfect to serve as your signature drink at a wedding, or event. “I created this exotic libation for the Chameleon Club at the Abu Dhabi Fairmont in the UAE. I wanted to pull together all the influences and flavors of the area, from the curry, coconut, mint, and rose to the gold bling to the love of Bollywood. It has a lot of ingredients and prep, but is worth the effort.” -Kathy Casey.  2 large fresh mint sprigs 45 ml (1.5 oz) Tanqueray No. TEN gin 60 ml (2 oz) Bollywood Pre-Mix* Coconut Rose Foam**, as garnish Edible gold flakes, as garnish Tear mint and drop into a pint glass. Add the remaining ingredients and ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Top with a pouf of Coconut Rose Foam and garnish with sprinkle of gold. *Bollywood Pre-Mix: Combine 400 g (2 cups) sugar, 480 ml (2 cups) water, and 1/2 tablespoon good curry powder in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer.
