Vani MalikYou may love your scotch and whiskeys for regular days. However, the traveller in you just loves to go local when they are heading to a destination. Like every corner of the country has something special in terms of food, alcohol is not left behind. We take you through some interesting local alcohols that every booze-lover should try out!
Lugdi in Manali
The magnificent Manali
Imagine sipping some local alcohol to beat the chill in the mountains! Lugdi does the trick in Manali. If you are planning to scale up heights and touch that highest peak of this serene locale, we suggest, all those who love their booze, to certainly try out this local alcohol drink made out of rice.
Zawlaidi in Mizoram
Mind-soothing Mizoram
This zone is famous for its home-based alcohols. However, chalking out the best out of the rest, we have Zawlaidi, a grape wine made of grapes from the highest mountains. Not very expensive in terms of trade, this is the best drink to enjoy when in Mizoram.
Chhaang in Ladakh
Paradise for travellers!
Those who love their beers, this is certainly one of the best alternates when in Ladakh. Brewed with barley and rice grains, a ‘hot’ cup of this is enough to keep you warm from inside. A little different from the chilled beer that we love, this alcohol from the mountains is worth a try.
Fenni in Goa
Chilled out Goa!
Goa is certainly your monthly escape to the beaches and it is best suited with Fenni in Goa. In the state, finding it isn’t that big of a problem, as it’s a favourite among the locals as well as abundantly available— unlike outside Goa, so bring as much of it as you can along on your way back. While we love the cashew variety, it can also be made by fermenting coconut sap.
