Also, going by the response we garnered during the last edition of the festival, we have brought back the concert of flavors with a twist of Hard Rock of course. This time we have some new offerings like Margarita Chicken Quesadilla and my personal favorite Bordeaux Burger.”

Created by top mixologists, guests can pair their booze-infused dishes with cocktails like Rock You Like a Hurricane, a spiced rum cocktail with a tropical blend of passion fruit, pineapple and fresh lemon juice that is finished with a dash of bitters and a dark rum floater.
