On Earth Day this year, as the world reflects on the urgent need to protect the planet, some Indian restaurants are turning the spotlight toward an unlikely hero of sustainability—the cocktail. But these aren’t your run-of-the-mill mojitos or margaritas. Instead, they’re meticulously crafted, delightfully bold, and, most importantly, zero-waste. These restaurants are emerging with eco-friendly ingredients, zero-waste garnishes, and, for some of them, their proceeds supporting environmental causes. These restaurants are celebrating Earth Day not just in spirit, but through action. We present to you a list of Indian restaurants who are stirring things up for Earth Day 2025.
