True Tramm Trunk at Juhu seems to
be the favorite hangout place for youngster. They have the most peppy music that is quite loud and catchy, the leaves little quiet moments for conversation
but everybody was tapping their feet, swinging their body as they sipped on
drinks and enjoyed the finger food.
The ambience is good, with low-lit
rooms, seating is either on high table-chair or a comfortable islands of easy
sofas with cushion for relaxed evening. Two walls address a big TV screen
playing some sports or other, while other walls have attractive wall art. There is a separate large room where one can have private parties.
It was interesting to see tables
lined up with crushed ice at the centre of the table, where one could keep the
bottles to cool while they feasted on finger food.
I was there on invite to
#FBAISoiree and sample the new drink, ‘Turning
Point Sangria’. It’s specialty being that you could drink straight from the
bottle, while on the go. There were two unique flavors: Metropolitan and Nashik
Mule.
Metropolitan is the combination of
red wine, sugar and nature identical flavors of orange and cranberry. You could
drink it chilled, directly from bottle, or pour it in glass, add some chopped
apples and oranges and top it with ice.
Nashik Mule is the perfect blend of
white wine, sugar and nature identical fruit flavors of orange and ginger ale.
You could drink it chilled or pour it in glass. Add some chopped apples,
oranges and curry leaves and top it with ice.
A brief hic-story of Sangria
In 200BC,
the Romans plant vineyards in Spain. The locals make merry of concocting a
fruit punch which was referred to as Sangria and have been thanking Romans ever
since
In
1964, the Big Apple gets its first taste of Sangria at the World Fair.
Americans take to it like fish to water.
In
2014, Turning Point Sangria launches in India and turns the century old drink
into modern and cool beverage!
It was great meeting other food
bloggers. Our #Quizmasters Alok
and Saher killed it with the #FBAIQuiz with
5 teams asking questions on all things Food and Sangria! There was continuous
stream of finger food appearing at intervals, which was tasty and spicy.
There were other cocktails too,
served in bottle with Bihari names, innocent drinks but with funny names, that
created the curiosity to taste just a bit.
