If you can’t get out of town for a full vacation, happy hour at this colorful tribute to the beach communities of Goa will do for now. Amid creative cocktails with bright, tropics-evoking ingredients and beach holiday names (e.g. the “Shimmering Sands” with mezcal, pineapple, pickled lime cordial and starfruit and the “Toes in the Sand,” a powerful rum concoction with Giffard pineapple liqueur, coconut cream and curry bitters), you’ll also find feni, a cashew apple brandy native to Goa, served with Limca or in a shot alongside Spiteful’s Tangerine Radler.
