There’s a certain allure to evenings that unfold slowly—where music lingers in the air, conversations flow effortlessly, and every sip feels like a moment to savour. At Taj Coromandel Chennai, that mood finds its perfect expression at Chipstead with Juniper Nights – A Gin & Jazz Evening, an experience designed to elevate the city’s nightlife with understated elegance and sensory indulgence.
Set within the refined, intimate ambience of Chipstead, the evening is a seamless blend of live jazz and a cocktail programme that celebrates gin in all its nuanced glory. The menu is thoughtfully curated, highlighting the spirit’s botanical versatility through inventive combinations and fresh, layered flavours.
Among the standout creations is Truly Tropical, a vibrant medley where gin meets passion fruit, pineapple and lime, offering a bright and refreshing profile. For something crisp and herbaceous, Spread Green pairs gin with cucumber, celery, lime cordial and a delicate celery air. Those inclined towards richer, spirit-forward notes can opt for Spirit Forward, an aromatic mix of rosemary-infused gin, sweet vermouth, orgeat and bitters. Meanwhile, Purple Rain delivers both visual drama and flavour, combining blue pea gin with elderflower, lime and tonic. Adding a local touch, South Side reinterprets the classic with holy basil, sweet lime and palm sugar, creating a distinctly Indian palate.
Complementing the cocktails is a menu of bar bites that strike a balance between comfort and bold flavours. Vegetarian offerings such as Hara Bhara Kebabs, Crispy Sichuan Vegetables and Honey Chilli Lotus Stem bring familiar favourites with a refined twist, while the Spud Bites Platter with cheese sauce adds a hearty indulgence. On the non-vegetarian side, Gilafi Seekh Kebabs and Chicken Morsels Smoked Chilli deliver robust flavours, alongside seafood highlights like Seafarer Fish Sticks with olive sauce and stir-fried prawns tossed in butter, garlic and chilli.
Whether you’re planning an intimate evening or simply looking to unwind in style, Juniper Nights at Chipstead offers a setting where music, mixology and mood come together effortlessly—creating an experience that feels both contemporary and timeless.
