Before we ever pick up a shaker, we spend days exploring local produce with our guest bartenders, ensuring every signature cocktail we pour is built on authentic Indian botanicals and the unique perspective of our international partners. ### Beyond the Guest Shift Most bar collaborations are simple guest shifts where a bartender brings their existing menu and pours it for a few hours. We decided to do things differently. The Cocktail Coalition is a deep dive into cross-cultural mixology. When we bring teams from bars like Foco in Barcelona or Zest in Seoul, we aren't just letting them stand behind our bar. We are creating a new menu from scratch. ### The Process: From Market to Glass It begins at the chaotic, vibrant spice markets of Old Delhi. We walk the lanes with our guests, finding ingredients that surprise them—local berries, rare herbs, or specific types of jaggery. Then, we head back to our lab. We treat these ingredients with technical precision, applying modern techniques like clarification or sous-vide to bridge the gap between Indian flavours and global cocktail standards. ### Why We Do It We want to show the world that India is a powerhouse of energy, produce, and hospitality. For our guests, this means you get to experience a menu that will never exist again. You are tasting the result of a two-way exchange: our guests take a piece of our culture home, and they leave behind a new technique or flavour profile that becomes part of the Lair DNA. It is loud, it is high-energy, and it is entirely authentic to our core belief: that cocktails are the best way to share stories and bring people together. ## About Lair We built Lair as a secret, modern den where curiosity meets hospitality. Through our Cocktail Coalition, we invite the world's most innovative bartenders to our home, blending their signature styles with the raw, vibrant energy of India.
