Summer’s here, why not throw a shindig that’s a nod to the classic Indian summer quencher, Aam Panna? This isn’t your garden-variety party theme. It’s a full-on celebration of that tangy mango magic, but with a twist that’ll have your guests talking for seasons to come.
For decor, think vibrant yet earthy. Drape your space in greens and yellows, mirroring the hues of raw mangoes and their leafy companions. Throw in some rustic, handmade lanterns to cast a soft, golden glow as the evening progresses. Glassware? Go for something eclectic.
Encourage a dress code that’s ‘Tropical Chic’. Think light, airy fabrics in mango green and sunset yellow. It’s a party where your attire should be as breezy and refreshing as the drinks. And for that cheeky touch, how about mango-shaped earrings or ties with a subtle mango print?
Greet your guests with a bubbly Aam Panna Spritz. A cheeky mix of 45 ml Smirnoff Green Apple, topped with Aam Panna and a splash of soda, served in a mason jar over crushed ice. It’s the perfect icebreaker—light, effervescent, and slightly mischievous.
Next up is the star of the show, Mango Masala Martini. Shake together 60 ml of Johnnie Walker Gold Label, 90 ml of Aam Panna, a teaspoon of ground cumin, and a dash of lime juice. Serve it straight up, with a mango slice on the rim. It’s smoky, it’s spicy, and it’s got that touch of exotic.
Not everyone’s drinking, and that’s cool. For a non-alcoholic option that doesn’t skimp on the fun, mix up a Virgin Aam Panna Cooler. Blend Aam Panna with ginger ale and a splash of lime for a drink that’s both invigorating and inclusive.
