Hosting a festive gathering this season with cocktails, bar bites, music galore? Well, one element which would need attention is of course festive gifts. These are tokens, thoughtfully presented, that would remind your guests of an evening well spent long after the party is over.

Smirnoff’s flavoured vodkas, including Minty Jamun, Mirchi Mango and Zesty Lime are inspired by regional fruits and tropical ingredients. Incorporating them into cocktails means bringing this local flair in highballs and spritzers that lends drinks a very customised yet modern touch.
