Java Ji, Royal Indian Cocktail, is named after our friend Dr. Java Joshi (Java Mehta Joshi) —an accomplished artist, educator, community builder, and founder of the Academy of Creative Arts (Academy of Creative Arts) in Burlington, Massachusetts. Through her passion for art and teaching, Java has inspired countless children and adults to discover their creativity and build meaningful connections through the arts.
Affectionately known as Java Ji (“Ji” is a term of respect and affection commonly used in India after a person’s name), she is admired for her artistic achievements, mentorship, and dedication to enriching our community. We crafted this cocktail as a toast to her lifelong commitment to creativity, culture, and helping others see the beauty and color in the world around them.
Just like her vibrant artwork, Java Ji, Royal Indian Cocktail (ABV: 8%), is bold, bright, and unforgettable. This brilliant crimson cocktail opens with fragrant notes of rose and kewra, followed by layers of fruit and botanicals, and finishes with a refreshing herbal character.
Here’s to artists, educators, community builders, and friends who make our world more colorful.
Please join us in celebration, along with Hetal Joshi and Java Joshi herself, for the release of Java Ji, Royal Indian Cocktail, tomorrow—Friday, June 12, at 6:00 PM at our Waltham Taproom.
