A toast to Diwali

The cocktail-forward restobar Loca in New Delhi that specialises in Mediterranean and Italian cuisines has an interesting cocktail game for Diwali. Their friendly staff will visit each table and shuffle a deck of card. If the diner is lucky to pull the top card, like ace of spades, king of diamonds, queen of hearts and jack of clubs, the first cocktail will be complimentary. They have created drinks inspired by these cards too.
