FOREVER WILD AND FREE

The Beverage List

New-age mixology, rare old whiskies — and some wild animals for company.

Under a hand-beaten brass ceiling, warm light and a proper sound system, the room runs late and lively. Pull up beside a leopard, order something rare, and stay a while.

MADE WILD · THE LODHI, NEW DELHI
THE CONCEPT

The wild,
by design.

Designed around the photography of Dr. Latika Nath.

Safari was made wild on purpose. The room was conceived and designed around the sensational wildlife photography of Dr. Latika Nath — among the world's foremost chroniclers of the tiger and the wild, and the first Indian woman to earn a doctorate on them.

Every frame on these walls is a portrait of a wild protagonist. The lighting was engineered for them — set to fall precisely on the eyes and the face of each animal, so that from any seat in the room a hundred wild gazes find yours.

You do not sit beside decoration here. You sit among leopards and tigers and elephants — lit as if they might, at any moment, turn and hold your eye.

Rémy Martin · Grande Champagne Cognac

Each decanter is the life's achievement of generations of cellar masters. Since 1874, each has set aside the oldest and most precious eaux-de-vie for the successors of the next century.

An exquisite blend of up to 1,200 eaux-de-vie sourced entirely from Grande Champagne, the first cru of Cognac — held in legendary crystal decanters, mouth-blown by master craftsmen.

“Think a century ahead.”
