A Chelsea restaurant is promoting 'wet February'

It’s been some time since Dry January was at the forefront of our minds, although if you've managed to stick to your no-booze promise up until now, hats off to you. We suspect these cocktails might persuade you to get back on the bandwagon though, as part of one restaurant's mission to promote a 'wet February'. 

Kahani’s head sommelier and bar manager, Dimitrios Dendramis and head bartender Giuseppe Ceradini, have created a new cocktail menu to complement Kahani’s food menu. Some of which will include ingredients such as infused Tandoori pineapple and homemade spiced rum (the full menu can be seen below).

Our cocktails are crafted to entice visually, and to excite your palate, while remaining true to our Indian roots and using the best quality British ingredients”.

Kahani's new cocktail menu is a celebration of 'Wet February'

Kahani is Michelin-starred chef Peter Joesph’s debut restaurant. Its modern approach to Indian cooking uses seasonal British ingredients with a focus on grilled meats, fish and vegetables from a robata grill.

The restaurant has also recently launched a new vegan menu inspired by the flavours of Joseph’s childhood home in Chennai, India.

Joseph explains: “Kahani is all about revolutionising people’s expectations, and that applies to the drinks as much as the food. We’ve created a cocktail menu that matches bold flavours together in a way that people won’t have experienced before”.
