A. country where masala chai boils at the railway station, lassi pours from a Lassiwallah in Varanasi, filter coffee runs through a brass tumbler in Madras, feni distills in the Goan cashew grove, Kingfisher beer sweats in the Bangalore heat, and Old Monk rum sits on every bar shelf. We pulled together every drink worth knowing — eight glasses, deep — from the chai-wallas who guard the recipe and the regions that wrote the rules.
