Nowadays, customers are not just interested in how the final drink or dish tastes or how it is presented. They are also often fascinated by watching how they are prepared from scratch. Watching drinks being made, especially by talented bartenders, can be mesmerising. The movement of their hands can be nothing short of hypnotic. Recently, Anand Mahindra made a reference to the same with an unlikely example. He took to X to reshare a video of a drink vendor at what looks to be a simple street shop. His drink-mixing skills left Anand Mahindra as well as many X users impressed.

In the video, we see a pair of vendors making a drink. The first vendor pours a yellowish-brown liquid into a glass. Then, his partner adds a brown powder, along with what looks to be milk. He doesn't pour the milk, but transfers it in across a large distance by pressing it out of a hole in the packet. The first vendor then adds ice cubes to the glass. Once done, he covers the glass with a steel one and 'seals' it by hitting a spoon on it to keep it down. He then masterfully mixes the drink by juggling it between his hands and throwing it through the air in mesmerising manoeuvres. He continues to alternately spin and hit the bottle on the metal surface in front of him. At the end, he removes the steel glass and presents the drink to be consumed, along with a straw.

Anand Mahindra captioned the video, "No, this gentleman wasn't the bartender at a New Year's Eve party-but he certainly could and should have been! Talent comes in all forms. Move over Tom Cruise... (remember Cruise in the film Cocktail?)" Watch the complete video below:

I'm not sure about his skills, but one thing is certain: he'll never have to worry about working out for fitness or experiencing a frozen shoulder.

Anand sir, certainly...but not without wasting considerably!

So much of wastage only for optics - it neither enhances taste or ensures hygiene.

Wastage and shabbily done unnecessary theatrics still getting getting praised by sir, that's the issue with India
