#FirstImpressions Of The Original’s Desi-Flavored Drinks
We tried a few of these retro-style bottles packed with desi-flavors and this is what we think about it.
The List Of The Variants That We Have Tried
1. Pomegranate Shikanji: Our Top Pick
We loved this chatpata drink. Pomegranate is a super-fruit, and this drink aims to provide its goodness in each sip. Filled with vitamin C, the drink is quite healthy when taking into account its nutritional chart and its anti-oxidant nature.
The Original Pomegranate Shikanji
A vitamin C rich drink that’ll refresh your mind.

2. Aam Panna: Also Recommended
Aam panna is one of the major traditional drinks that originated in India. We liked the aam panna by The Original too, its got a very balanced flavor of sweet, tangy and hint of spicy and does a good job of quenching your thirst on a summer day.
The Original Aam Panna
A perfect blend of spices and the sweetness of the mango.
3. Jamun Shikanji
This drink claims to be a powerful coolant, though we found it a bland. Well, black plum (jamun) is known for its cooling nature and fiber-rich content, thus it won’t come to us as a shock if this drink helps in lowering the body’s temperature.
The Original Jamun Shikanji
A fiber-rich sweet drink filled with cooling properties.
4. Raw Mango:
This is a kaccha aam drink that claims to refresh your mind after a hard day’s work. This was completely lacking in any flavor when we tasted it. Very bland and diluted. It is made up of a mixture of raw mango flavoring and other traditional Indian spices and condiments along with a thickener.
The Original Raw Mango
A refreshing Kacccha Aam drink.
Most of these drinks contain around 100 calories in a single serving (200ml) bottle. The shelf life of these drinks is 6 months and priced at INR 60/- a piece.
