"The cocktail market in India over the last few years have been on an interesting and upwards journey. Consumers have become more adventurous and experimental with flavors and combinations. Swizzle brings all this to your doorstep and have brought the whole concept of 'farm to table' to the mixology world. Thei packaging, choice of ingredients and quality of product was very impressive, and hence we became Swizzle fans from the moment we had our first sip," Monika Rao, co-founder and CEO, AIFMetrics.
