Gurugram’s cocktail scene has transformed in recent years. People now look for drinks that are more than just alcohol in a glass — they want something fresh, creative, and worth talking about. Omny Kitchen, led by Chef Vicky Ratnani, delivers exactly that.
Here, cocktails aren’t rushed or routine. Every drink tells a story, inspired by travels, spices, and unexpected flavors. If you enjoy discovering something new every time you raise a glass, this is the place to be.
Let’s take a look at 10 signature cocktails at Omny Kitchen that truly stand out — and why.
1. Wake-Up-Call
Banana Infused Bacardi Oro, Artisanal Coffee Cordial — ₹775
A playful mix of banana rum and rich coffee, this drink feels like breakfast had a mischievous evening twist. The coffee is brewed fresh for the bar and blended with a house cordial, giving it a smooth punch without being overly sweet.
Why it’s special: Instead of using heavy bottled coffee liqueur, Omny makes its own — which means the coffee flavor is cleaner, fresher, and far less sugary.
2. HORIZO
Pisco, Peat, Fresh Lemon, Aromatic Cardamom — ₹895
Bright, smoky, and lightly spiced — this cocktail takes South American pisco and gives it an Indian soul with cardamom. The splash of peat brings in just the right touch of campfire warmth.
Why it’s special: You rarely find pisco cocktails in India. Here it’s paired with a hint of Indian spice, making it familiar yet exciting in every sip.
3. Smoke & Vine
Mezcal, Pickled Grape Brine — ₹895
If you like smoky flavors, this is for you. Earthy mezcal meets tangy pickled grape brine, creating a drink that feels bold and slightly salty with a fruity edge.
Why it’s special: Using grape brine instead of citrus juice adds a savory twist that makes this cocktail memorable and completely different from the usual smoky mezcal drinks.
4. Zest & Barrel
Cognac, Campari, Citrus Macerated Vermouth — ₹775
A rich and aromatic cocktail that’s smooth but not too sweet. The vermouth is infused with fresh citrus peel, bringing out deep, sun-kissed flavors that pair beautifully with cognac.
Why it’s special: The citrus infusion takes hours but adds incredible depth — a slow process you’ll taste in every sip.
5. Land and Tropics
Patron Reposado, Charred Pineapple, Coriander, Malic Acid — ₹995
This cocktail is sunshine and smoke in a glass — tequila with a hint of charred pineapple and fresh herbs. It’s tropical, earthy, and full of character.
Why it’s special: Instead of bottled sour mixes, the bar uses natural malic acid (the tangy element found in apples and grapes) to create a clean, refreshing finish without artificial sweetness.
6. Green Caravan
Bombay Sapphire, Bitter Gourd, Fennel — ₹775
Yes, you read that right — bitter gourd in a cocktail. Don’t worry, it’s surprisingly refreshing. The gin’s crispness and fennel’s sweetness balance out the earthy bitterness beautifully.
Why it’s special: This is not a gimmick — it’s a clever way of turning an everyday Indian ingredient into something elegant and fresh.
7. Crisp Campas
Bombay Sapphire, Green Apple, Celery Sparkling — ₹875
A light, fizzy drink perfect for warm evenings. Green apple gives it a tart snap while celery adds a crisp, garden-fresh aroma.
Why it’s special: The bar uses real juice and cold-pressed ingredients instead of flavored syrups, which makes the drink taste cleaner and more natural.
8. Kyoto Distilled
Miso Fat Washed Whiskey, Galangal Cordial — ₹775
A rich, savory cocktail with smooth miso-infused whiskey and the warm spice of galangal (a cousin of ginger). It’s silky on the tongue with an earthy finish.
Why it’s special: “Fat washing” is a chef’s technique — it gives whiskey a buttery feel without making it greasy. Few bars take this much care in crafting flavor.
9. Silk Road
Vodka, Bergamot, Orange, Egg White, Angostura Bitters, Fresh Lime — ₹875
Soft, citrusy, and aromatic — this cocktail has a smooth foam top from egg white and a fragrant touch of bergamot, the fruit that flavors Earl Grey tea.
Why it’s special: Bergamot oil adds a beautiful natural perfume, making this cocktail smell as good as it tastes.
10. Soluna
Grey Goose Vodka, Lemongrass, Orange Bitters, Kaffir Lime — ₹895
Bright, zesty, and herbal — lemongrass and lime leaf bring Southeast Asian flavors to a crisp vodka base.
Why it’s special: Instead of just tossing herbs into the shaker, Omny carefully cold-infuses them so you get a clean flavor without bitterness.
Why These Cocktails Stand Out
- Chef-driven recipes: Every drink has a story and a reason for being on the menu.
- Fresh, premium ingredients: No shortcuts, no bottled mixers — everything is made in-house.
- Modern techniques: Infusions, fat-washing, and slow maceration make each cocktail feel handcrafted.
- Balanced flavors: Nothing here is cloying or overpowering — just well-made drinks for real cocktail lovers.
