Au00a0brew festival, now on, offers creative ideas about how you can get your caffeine fix round the clock

Bristas are brewing up single origins, coffee cocktails and nightcaps at an infusion festival now on at the Oberoi.

The next on the menu are coffee cocktails like Vodkatini flavoured with Kahlua. Then there are the nightcaps, like the classic Irish coffee mixed with whiskey, Jamaican coffee with rum and Russian coffee with vodka. For those who want to enjoy coffee cocktails without liquor, there is the Russet which means a tinge of brown made of caramel syrup and coffee with a dash of milk.

This being winter, Nilesh says, "is the right time to have coffee in its various forms and hence the different infusions on offer." The idea here is to let people have coffee for the entire day and not be related to only "post meal drinks or a nightcap".

People are very conscious of what they eat and drink. Unlike chocolates, where people look at the calorie content on the wrapper, coffee is something Nilesh says, "People have without bothering too much about caffeine."u00a0
