Rajesh Parihar, marketing head of Nasik-based ND Wines that has brought the cocktail top town, says: “We thought of introducing this drink since there has been an increase in wine appreciation.”

The company has till date got three customers: Delhi businessman Vivek Singhania, model Amanpreet Wahi’s fiancée Raghav Narula, and a Madhya Pradesh-based man. “Each year I try and do something different, so this drink seemed an attractive option for a gift,” Singhania says. Wahi, though, is oblivious that she consumed a cocktail worth Rs 1 lakh: “I was given an alcoholic beverage by my boyfriend with a solitaire at the bottom. I had trouble finishing the drink since it had a lot of alcohol.”
