As the festive season approaches, food influencers are getting creative in the kitchen, and Shipra Hattangadi is no exception. Following her previous cocktail creation featuring the popular Indian sweet, Soan Papdi, she’s back with an innovative twist for Diwali—a drink made with the beloved Indian dessert, Jalebi.
In her latest Instagram video, Shipra showcases her exciting recipe for a “Jalebi Colada,” merging traditional flavors with a contemporary cocktail twist. The video begins with her unboxing a box of Jalebi, instantly igniting a craving for the sweet treat. “Jalebi ka dabba jab khulta hai, it’s impossible not to eat one. But this Diwali, here’s how I’m enjoying my Jalebi (with a cocktail punch),” she announces, setting the tone for her festive creation.

Shipra’s cocktail departs from the typical rum and soda mix, opting for a more imaginative approach. To create the Jalebi Colada, she starts by blending a few pieces of Jalebi with water. Then, she adds 60 ml of Bacardi ginger rum, known for its versatility in cocktails. To elevate the drink, she incorporates coconut milk and a splash of lime juice, creating a refreshing concoction. A sprinkle of saffron strands adds an aromatic finish, and she garnishes the glass with a piece of Jalebi for a festive touch.
Since its upload earlier this month, the Jalebi Colada video has gone viral, amassing over 28,000 views and hundreds of likes on Instagram. The creative fusion of Indian sweets with a cocktail is resonating with viewers, making it a hit for those looking to spice up their Diwali celebrations.
As Shipra Hattangadi continues to blend tradition with innovation, her Jalebi Colada stands out as a must-try festive drink this Diwali, perfect for celebrating with family and friends.
