Stocking Mixes, Bar Syrups, Juices and Garnishes
Indian home bar or an Indian Restaurant bar must carry sweetened mango pulp and Rooh Afza
1. Buy Sweetened Mango Pulp in 8 oz cans. After you open the can, put it in a plastic bottle and keep it refrigerated. Or, just go to local Wal-Mart Store and buy "Mango Puree" made by "Finest Call" in a plastic liter bottle.
2. Rooh Afza This a red syrup with Rose and Screwpine flavor. I like the the product imported from Pakistan.
In addition, an Indian bar may stock fresh rose petals, peppermint leaves and fresh ginger sticks.
