Tequila is no longer just a party starter (or ender) — it’s become the heart of some of the most inventive cocktails in town. On Tequila Day, instead of downing shots, sip slowly on something special. From smoky to sweet, spicy to citrusy, here’s where you’ll find Kolkata’s coolest tequila creations worth raising your glass to.
Meteor Shower from Cal-On
A bold, unexpected mix that pairs tequila with fresh carrot extract and star anise water. Vibrant, earthy, and just mysterious enough, this one’s a visual and flavourful stunner — much like the celestial show it’s named after.
Pocket pinch: Rs 825
Desert Bloom from That Place Bowl & Bar
This cocktail blooms with flavour — tequila, lychee rose syrup, and a delicate touch of star anise come together for a sweet and fragrant drink that’s both bold and pretty. It's like a desert flower unfurling under the moonlight.

7th Mile (Kalimpong Region) by Olterra
Taking you to the misty hills of Kalimpong, this cocktail fuses tequila with local cheese and fermented gundruk. Add passionfruit and a hint of acidity, and you've got a complex drink rooted in Himalayan heritage.

What A Bar and The Stage Is Set from Little Bit Sober
A punchy combo of tequila, passionfruit and chilli ferment, topped with sparkling fizz, makes this cocktail spicy, juicy, and full of character. Perfect for those who love a little heat in their sip.

Earthy and refined, this cocktail speaks with every sip — expressive, smooth, and full of intrigue.
Pocket pinch: Rs 745 for both
