Perry Road Peru bottled cocktail – the Pink bliss !
Perry Road Peru is a bottle full of pink magic we always wanted. Although the makers had already planned on releasing it once, the pandemic made them go for the second run.
“It was only supposed to be a one-year release; a limited edition batch for 2020. But because we weren’t able to expand it to an all-India programme [as we wanted to] because of the lockdown, we thought of giving it a comeback.”

Feeling lucky already? Let’s check out the recipe now!
So this juicy Lucy drink starts with a batch of fresh guavas that are steeped in a still full of gin. These guavas are then peeled and macerated for around six hours, post which they are sent for distillation that goes on for the next 18 hours. Next, the drink is Clarified, bottled and manufactured for it to be supplied to the markets. It’s recommended to serve the drink in a highball glass over ice with a hint of chilli and salt on the top.
Perry Road Peru is priced at INR 2,999 plus delivery charges, but this can vary according to the cities.
