Boozy Masala Soda
Boozy Masala Soda – Minty, spicy and refreshing beverage to give your happy hour a desi kick!
Masala soda is an Indian street side cold beverage. It is loaded with fresh lemon, mint, chaat masala, ice and lots of sparkling soda. The original masala soda is non alcoholic. Long time back my father used to take us down the street for some ice cold masala soda after huge meal. I truly miss those day!
This version of the masala soda is alcoholic and loaded with fresh mint, black/pink salt, fresh lime juice, chaat masala, black peppers, fresh ginger, honey/maple syrup and Bombay Sapphire Dry Gin. You can definitely make it without any alcohol if you prefer virgin masala soda! Pair this refreshing drink with chakna/biting like this yummy Peanut Chaat!
This one level up drink is so damn good, it will definitely get you drunk before you know it ;). You’re welcome! LOL. If you end up making it and liking it, tag me on instagram @myvegetarianroots.
Cheers!
