In the concluding part of the series, Suprita Mitter and Dipanjan Sinha scour South and Central Mumbai to find seven standout picks that will quench your summer thirst
Mango Juice
The most popular drink at this fast food joint, which has been a Chowpatty landmark since 1962, changes according to season, a staffer told us. When we visited after 11 pm on a week day, the place was packed. The flavour of the season happens to be Mango (Rs 160) and we promptly ordered one, to pass our own verdict. The drink, which was served to us in a jiffy, was refreshing, filling and delicious. The eatery also offers milkshake and snack options.
Boom, a mosambi, lemon and khus drink
On a hot afternoon, we chose to sip on Boom (Rs 100), a mix of mosambi, lemon and khus. It was perfect for the weather and is among the most popular juices this season at the King’s Circle joint. “People come here to try new things. We experiment with combinations every week. The Mango Punch (R130) which has raw mango, fresh mango and some vanilla is also a summer favourite,” says owner Vilas Dongre. “When we started, exotic fruits like kiwi, dragonfruit, prune and avacado were not available here. Today, we can introduce additional flavours with these fruits,” he says.
Fresh Lime
For professors and students of the neighbouring Ruia, Poddar and Welingkar colleges, and cricket enthusiasts who come to Matunga Gymkhana, the Fresh Lime (Rs 10) at Sai Juice centre has always been the drink to have. If you don’t mind a pink drink, the Rose Lime (Rs 20), a mix of rose syrup and lime juice is equally yummy. Another best-seller is the Cold Coffee (Rs 40), with a price that has jumped over the years (still pocket-friendly), the taste remains the best though.
