Someone at your table is almost always not drinking. On the way to Alibaug, it is usually whoever is driving back.
The usual experience
Non-drinkers get handed a soft drink menu that has not been thought about since the place opened. Meanwhile everyone else has a cocktail list with actual craft behind it.
It is a small thing that quietly makes people feel like an afterthought.
What we do instead
The zero-proof list is built with the same care as the cocktails:
Coastal Cooler — the one to order if you want something that feels like a proper drink.
Virgin Mojito — mint, lime, soda, done right rather than sweetened into a syrup.
Watermelon Aqua Fresca — light and genuinely refreshing in the humidity.
Mango Lassi — the traditional option, and it goes far better with spiced food than most people expect.
Cold Brew Coffee — for the person driving home late.
Why this matters for groups
If you are booking for a family, an office group, or anyone driving back to Mumbai the same night, this is worth checking before you choose a venue. It changes the evening for the people not drinking — which is often half the table.
