<p>Weddings in Delhi and Gurgaon have evolved from the classic &ldquo;dal makhani and DJ&rdquo; formula to full-blown experiential fiestas. We&rsquo;ve got food trucks, live counters, smoke machines, and yes&mdash;even drone photography. But the real glow-up in recent years? The wedding bar menu.</p>

<p>While cocktail classics like mojitos and whiskey sours hold their ground, a bold new trend is making waves&mdash;sanskari shots. That&rsquo;s right, shots that don&rsquo;t burn your throat or upset your nani. We&rsquo;re talking paan, thandai, and aam panna&mdash;served in shot glasses with all the flair of a tequila but none of the hangover.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>1. Paan Shots: The OG After-Party Mouth Freshener</strong></h2>

<p>Oh, paan. The after-meal ritual of the legends. But who says you have to wait till after dinner when you can start your cocktail hour on a high note with this sweet, minty desi bomb?</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3><strong>What It Is:</strong></h3>

<p>A pop of color made from gulkand, betel leaf extract, saunf, cream, and a splash of rose syrup&mdash;whipped into a cool, chilled shooter. Some of them even have a candied paan garnish for added theater.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3><strong>Why It Works:</strong></h3>

<ul>
	<li>It&#39;s alcohol-free, yet celebratory.</li>
	<li>Excellent palate cleanser between hot appetizers.</li>
	<li>Ideal for older guests who&#39;d like to be included in the fun.</li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>2. Thandai Shots: From Holi Vibes to High-End Weddings</strong></h2>

<p>Traditionally done on Holi or Shivratri, thandai has made a stylish comeback to summer weddings. No bhang involved&mdash;just the good stuff.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3><strong>What It Is:</strong></h3>

<p>Made with saffron, dry fruits, milk, rose petals, and cardamom&mdash;this rich, nutty drink is served cold and can be infused with a dash of rose syrup or kesar for added flair.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3><strong>Why It Works:</strong></h3>

<ul>
	<li>Looks elegant in glassware (especially with pistachio dust rims).</li>
	<li>Cooling and refreshing in Delhi&rsquo;s hot July weddings.</li>
	<li>It&rsquo;s nostalgic for the older crowd, Insta-worthy for the younger one.</li>

<p>Raw mango pulp mixed with black salt, cumin, mint, and a pinch of sugar. Served in an ice glass and topped occasionally with a cumin-mint foam or crushed ice.</p>
