Woodside Inn gives the good old gola an alcoholic twist with its Bubbles and Fizzle menu
Food
Cosmo Gola Fizz (Rs 345)
Imagine Carrie Bradshaw sucking on an ice gola. Her favourite concoction of sparkling wine, vodka, tripple sec and cranberry juice gets a street makeover and the result is quirky. However, we find it a tad overwhelming to manage the ice gola and the martini glass and the tempting pieces of dried cranberries lie at the bottom — to sip, or bite or slurp? Also, the cocktail starts losing its spunk once the gola begins to melt. Also, I lose my gola in the sea of wine and vodka and cranberry juice midway through the endeavour.
Rum Cafe Gola (Rs 345)
This one is our favourites. It takes us back to our school days when cold coffees and golas used to be a luxury, and merges the two like a dream. Also, due to the heavy concentration of dark rum, espresso and condensed milk drizzle, the ice gola manages to hold the cocktail much better.
Horn of Plenty (Rs 395)
This one is a colourful tongue teaser, and indeed a cornucopia. The tartness of the Grenadine is perfectly offset by the sweet, bitter and spicy flavour of the Campari, while the Tripple Sec gives it a refreshing citrusy twist. Sparkling wine adds that extra zing.
