Great Goan spirits for a memorable holiday

Cashew or coconut feni symbolises the great Goan spirits, which now have the Geographical Indication (GI) tag which makes them more uniquely and distinctively Goan. Like the feeling that you get when you look up to the towering coconut palms swaying in the wind, lining the Goan coastline, feni too not only embodies but also gives you that heady feeling. You can have them plain, with soda, lemon cold drink or with lime juice or mix them up in cocktails with fruit juices and other different blends to suit your taste and take you to seventh heaven. All visitors to Goa, while indulging in Goan folklore, culture and music, should experience these two Goan spirits. They are appetizers too. Your holiday is not complete without savouring these heady spirits. Do not over indulge, but taste these spirits of Goa to fulfil your Goan holiday. Just in case you thought that they did not have medicinal properties, if you catch a cold, pour feni into a saucer, add two teaspoonfuls of sugar and burn the alcohol till you get a thick syrup which is a sure cure for cold. Taste these great Goan spirits and make your Goan holiday memorable.
