When you think of Holi, it most likely brings to mind vibrant images of powdered paint flying through the air in rainbow colours, of city-wide water fights and roaring bonfires. The two-day event, referred to interchangeably as the Festival of Love, the Festival of Colour and the Festival of Spring, is a joyous celebration of good triumphing over evil which pays homage to the everlasting and divine love between Hindu Gods Radha and Krishna. While there will be no partying in the streets this year, Jaisalmer are helping to bring the spirit of the festival to your home on the 28th-29th March with a trio of festive cocktails. Pick up a bottle of Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin on Amazon here and then check out the recipes below.
