Situated in NYC’s buzzy NoMad neighborhood, Michelin-starred Junoon serves up creative cocktails to pair with elegant Indian fare. This Marg — crafted by head mixologist Hemant Pathak — features south Asian flavors and ingredients like fresh mango and homemade spicy rose syrup, which are perfect for sipping alongside the restaurant’s spiced paneer or fenugreek spiced chicken tandoori.
Pathak also adds green chili, cilantro, and garlic to the eye-catching salt rim for this sip, giving it a savory appeal. Topped off with a dehydrated lime wheel and mint sprig, this is a drink that’s sure to be a highlight of your summer drinking roster.
