Six & Sip Nights Bring IPL Buzz To  Wilson's Kolkata

Here’s your guide to your ultimate DIY beer cocktail playbook –

  • Tangy Toss-Up- Start strong with the Tangy Toss-Up, a bold, chatpata spin on a classic shandy. Crisp lager meets lemon soda, a pinch of chaat masala, and a squeeze of fresh lime for that unmistakable Indian zing. Effervescent and punchy, it sets the tone for the night. Best enjoyed with aloo chaat or masala peanuts, making every mid-over break feel like a flavour-packed timeout.
  • Tropical Third Umpire -When the game heats up, cool things down with this cocktail. A smooth wheat beer blends seamlessly with pineapple juice, muddled mint, and a splash of soda, creating a light, breezy refresher. Its tropical sweetness pairs effortlessly with salty snacks like popcorn or banana chips, bringing balance to every sip and bite.

  • Powerplay Punch- Bright, bold, and built to impress, this cocktail is where citrus meets craft. Fresh orange juice topped with a robust Indian pale ale and finished with a chili-salt rim delivers a layered experience: zesty, hoppy, and just a little fiery. Pair it with smoky tandoori paneer, where the citrus cuts through richness and amplifies every flavour note.
  • Peachy Timeout - Easy-going yet elegant, this cocktail is your go-to for those calmer match moments. Peach syrup blends with a light lager and a hint of soda to create a smooth, subtly sweet cooler. Its delicate fruitiness complements grilled veggie wraps beautifully, enhancing smoky notes while keeping the palate refreshed.
  • Final Over Float - End on a high with the indulgent Final Over Float, a decadent mix of dark wheat beer, coffee liqueur, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Creamy, rich, and slightly bitter, it’s a dessert-worthy drink that pairs perfectly with chocolate brownies or caramel popcorn. Think of it as the sweet finish to a thrilling match.
