3. Advantages of Organic Food :
• Nutrition - rich in vitamins, minerals and enzymes which will help your body
fight off infections more effectively.
• Toxin-Free - Since It is pesticide-free, it lowers the risk of cancer and certain
birth defects.
• Taste - Organic products tend to taste better than non-organic ones. For
example, a study by Washington State University in 2001 claimed that organic
apples were sweeter and had firmer texture, compared to those of conventional
farming.
• Environment - Organic farming is better for the environment since it does
not use toxic chemicals that will run off to pollute soil and water. Also, it
promotes a use of the land that will maintain richness in the soil for the next
generations.

4. Organic Beverages
 Gone are the days of mixed beverages and cocktails being passé.
The classics are back!!!
 Martinis, Cosmopolitans and Mai Tai’s are some of the beverages of choice.
The latest twist to the trend is not to use standard pouring brands to mix these
cocktails but instead signature spirits to mix your own personalised favourite.
Varun at Bar Zen at the Courtyard by Marriott, Gurgaon, makes the best
Grey Goose Martini you have ever tasted.
Varun is not a barman, he is a ‘Mixologist’.
 The flavour infusion of spirits is popular. Tea in vodkas, chili infused white
rums being produced and presented over the bar are really adding a dynamic
change to something that has been around a long time.
