£3.20/litreNo Holi is complete without thandai, meaning cooling, and Mallika Basu's version gets a grown-up twist with gin or vodka. Traditionally, white poppy seeds and melon seeds are used to thicken full-fat milk before straining and mixing with rose water and sugar, but she used a smoothie maker, ingredients you’re likely to have handy and vegan-friendly almond milk alternative for themed cocktails guaranteed to get the party started.

Place the almond drink, almonds, sunflower and fennel seeds, peppercorns, cardamoms, rose water and sugar in a blender or smoothie maker and blitz until smooth.
Strain into a jug, removing any bits remaining in the sieve. You can serve these over ice in cocktail glasses adding 25ml gin or vodka to each one, and topping with rose petals and a few strands of saffron. Alternatively, place the jug on the table with a bowl of crushed ice, the spirits and the garnishes, for each person to mix their own.
