Speaking to My Kolkata on the sidelines of the event, Kejriwal said, ‘The committee of Kolkata International Women’s Club (KIWC) works very hard to find and curate unique immersive experiences for our members. From various workshops to cultural walks and talks, Durga puja pandal visits, author talks, charity fundraisers, and more, our members get the opportunity to learn more about the city we love and call home’
After the dim sum masterclass, it was time to stir things up with Ashitosh Narayanan, trade brand ambassador, Bacardi. The mixologist enlightened the ladies about Grey Goose and its legacy with a hands-on cocktail session. Post-event, Narayanan said, ‘I love hosting consumers and doing interactive sessions. Everyone received and appreciated the Grey Goose masterclass. A lot of them came for the recipes which was the best part and quite a few also acknowledged that they learned some great facts about Grey Goose vodka’
Ashitosh Narayanan also spoke about the different glassware and iceware used in cocktail making and the ladies made use of the opportunity to learn the bartender’s shake

The ladies enjoyed some lip-smacking food from the Boo-Tang kitchen that included dishes like Turnip Cake, Numbing Sichuan Chicken, Spicy Prawn Hargao, and more
To go with the menu, the Boo-Tang bar served four Grey Goose vodka cocktails — Le Blanc Fizz, Goose By The Sea, Sundown Spritz and Passionfruit Martini
Summing up the evening, Muskan Sethi said, ‘It was filled with fun and flavour and ended with the ladies enjoying the cocktails and the sui mai they created, and dancing to some retro English tunes!’
