Goencho Dukor (Goan Pig)

Buland Shukla, For the Record Vinyl Bar | Goa, India

Drawing inspiration from the Moscow Mule, the cocktail found die-hard fans in Buland Shukla’s circle of friends who shifted their loyalty from beer to feni, a spirit made from distilled cashew fruit. Naturally, the drink, designed to beat the Goan heat, found its way to his menu at For the Record, India’s first dedicated vinyl bar.
