Folklore suggests that in 1920, Bhupinder Singh, was determined that his cricket team would win over a touring English squad. To secure an advantage, he hosted a splendid party the night before the match, where he presented his guests the famous Patiala pegs. These are famously substantial four-finger whisky pours, customarily poured from pinky to forefinger. As expected, the English players overindulged, resulting in them being very the worse for wear and, inevitably, defeated the next day. Thus, the story of the Patiala peg originated.
This Punjabi spin on the old fashioned is inspired by the Maharaja's drink. In our establishment, we serve it from a specially crafted large-format bottle, but we've adjusted the instructions to make it better suited for a household kitchen.
Produces 1 litre, enough for 10-12 drinks.
Combine everything in a sizeable jug. Include 130g water, agitate to combine, then place it in the fridge. It can be stored for about a few weeks.
For serving, pour roughly 90ml of the prepared cocktail into a old fashioned glass filled with ice (preferably one big block). Serve immediately. To honour tradition, you could pour it using your fingers as they did.
