[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m Indian and pairing Indian food and cocktails is my thing! 
If you tell me more about your menu, I’m happy to come up with more ideas. 
Generally:
One sparkling cocktail, like Mango or Passion fruit Bellini. You can add a bit of ginger liqueur, like Domaine de Canton, to spice things up.
One sour, like a margarita riff or a vodka based one. Options: Jalapeño margarita, vodka with mint & lemon with a dash of orgeat to add richness.
One old-fashioned type drink for the lovers of more boozy drinks (ie all the uncles): Brown butter washed bourbon with gulab jamun syrup as a sweetener and scrappy’s cardamom bitters.
Definitely scotch for the scotch-only drinkers.

Congratulations![/quote]

Np. These sound amazing. Please share where to source the old fashioned ingredients. Is that a type of bourbon, for example. And how can I make the syrup? I assume I can buy the bitters. Thanks! [/quote]

I'm the PP that suggested those. The brown butter bourbon is something you make yourself. It's a technique called fat-washing: https://www.whiskyadvocate.com/how-to-fat-wash-whisky/
The gulab jamun syrup is something I had leftover after Diwali. It's essentially the equivelent of a rich simple syrup in cocktail parlance, flavored with saffron, cardamom and rose water. You'd need to make that too.[/quote]
