🍹 Kala Khatta Cocktail Recipe - A Tangy Indian-Inspired Drink You Must Try!

Looking to impress your guests with a unique, nostalgic drink that screams Indian summer? This Kala Khatta Cocktail is the perfect blend of sweet, sour, and spicy - with a boozy twist!


🧡 Why You'll Love This Drink

Kala Khatta is a childhood favorite in India – a syrupy mix of blackberries (jamun), spices, and citrus flavors often enjoyed as gola (ice pops). In this grown-up version, we turn it into a vibrant cocktail that delivers bold flavor with minimal effort.

Whether you're planning a party, a themed cocktail night, or just want to treat yourself – this refreshing drink is the showstopper your taste buds will thank you for.



🍸 Ingredients (Serves 1)

  • 60ml Vodka (chilled)

  • 30ml Kala Khatta syrup (easily available at Indian grocery stores)

  • 15ml Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

  • 60ml Soda water or Lemon-flavored soda (like Sprite)

  • Black salt or chaat masala (for the rim – optional)

  • Ice cubes

  • Lemon slice or jamun berries for garnish (optional)



🧊 How to Make It – Step-by-Step

  1. Prep Your Glass
    Rim a tall glass with lemon juice, then dip it into black salt or chaat masala. This gives a delicious salty contrast to the sweet drink.

  2. Build the Base
    Fill the glass halfway with ice cubes. Pour in 60ml vodka, followed by 30ml Kala Khatta syrup.

  3. Add the Zing
    Squeeze in fresh lemon juice for that citrus punch.

  4. Top It Up
    Add 60ml soda or Sprite. Stir gently with a bar spoon or straw to mix the layers.

  5. Garnish & Serve
    Add a lemon slice or a few jamun berries for presentation. Serve immediately.



💡 Pro Tips from Adi

  • Want it non-alcoholic? Just skip the vodka. You’ll still get all the flavor!

  • Don’t have kala khatta syrup? Use jamun concentrate or mix blackberry crush with a bit of lemon and black salt.

  • Add a dash of chaat masala to the drink itself for an extra tangy kick.
