"The East Bay Spice Company offers a cocktail menu that pulls influences from India and the diverse backgrounds of the staff. They serve a gin-forward makeover of the classic Indian lassi with mango pulp, cinnamon, and ginger syrup, and the bourbon-based Royal Charter blends chai syrup with spiced liquor, lemon, and orange. Other drinks feature classic garam masala. A bartender favorite includes a biryani masala-infused drink with passion fruit and chile verde liqueur." - Nandita Godbole
