Dubai : MASTI, the award-winning Indian-fusion restaurant and cocktail bar in La Mer, is calling on the city’s beverage aficionados to save the dates of 10th-13th of November for an unmissable bar takeover with the iconic Indian bar, Sidecar.
The brainchild of Yangdup Lama and Marakshi Singh, two of India’s most prominent F&B and mixology creatives, SideCar is a progressive bar in New Delhi famed for its artisanal cocktails made using in-house flavour extractions including bitters, syrups, grogs, and tinctures. The only bar in India to make the World’s Best Bar list, Sidecar has achieved worldwide recognition for their innovative approach to mixology which draws inspiration from Indian flavours while catering to a global palate.
During the takeover, guests can expect one-of-a-kind artisanal cocktails, co-created by Ranveer Brar and Jeet Verma, embodying the powerhouse duo’s signature styles, fused to create beverages, unlike anything the city has seen before. The beverage menu will feature four show-stopping new additions such as ‘The Darjeeling Mail’ a herbal and vegetal concoction featuring The Botanist Gin, Tomato-infused Campari , Vermouth, Timbur Tincture and Tomato Water in addition to the floral and aromatic ‘Side Car’ featuring Remy Cointreau 1738 AR , Cointreau, Sandalwood Syrup, Citrus, Orange Blossom Water. The beverages will be available for dinner service all evening across the four days and are priced at AED 65. A themed brunch based around the four cocktails will also take place on Saturday 13th of November; making for an exhilarating culmination to the week’s takeover.
Sidecar is an exuberant and innovative part of Delhi’s evolving cocktail scene with a plethora of industry awards and accolades to solidify this reputation. The bar flies the flag for India in the World’s Best Bar list, occupying a place of #35 and representing the only bar in India to make the list. Sidecar is 16 in Asia’s Best Bar list, climbing from a previous ranking of #91 in 2021. Classic, timeless, subtle, yet remarkable, Sidecar paves the way for mixology in India, setting a new standard in the industry.
Ranveer Brar is Sidecar’s highly acclaimed head mixologist who will take on a residency at MASTI for the four-day takeover. A native of Delhi, Ranveer Brar has participated in prestigious competitions, like the Bacardi Legacy Cocktail Competition, and the Diageo World Class Competition where he has used his creative vision and unequivocal mixology skills to set a new standard in the industry.
Speaking of the takeover, Jeet Verma, MASTI’s Bar Manager says, “At MASTI, we strive to be the best in terms of our food and beverage. To be the best, we must learn from the best, which lead us to team up with Sidecar. Sidecar has made waves in the industry, both in India and globally. As an Indian-fusion concept, this take-over means a great deal to us at MASTI and allows us to learn and also rediscover our roots in terms of mixology. It is a tremendous honour to have Rohan and the Sidecar team behind our bar to create something truly memorable for our guests.”
Ranveer Brar, the Head Bartender at Sidecar, “The MASTI X Sidecar takeover represents a fantastic opportunity for us to reach a new audience here in Dubai. Dubai is a dynamic city with a thriving bar culture. MASTI is at the forefront of this industry and we are delighted to be able to partner with the team for this highly anticipated bar takeover. We look forward to bringing our artisanal concoctions to visitors to MASTI where they can try a true taste of India.”
The Sidecar takeover represents the second bar takeover for MASTI who previously welcomed Lebanese bartender, Jad Ballout of Beirut’s Electric Bing Sutt in August 2021.
