Events @ The Cart & Horses

A Warming Whisper of Spice with Kaveri

As autumn settles in — bonfires crackling, leaves underfoot, and that first crisp chill — we’re turning up the heat with Kaveri: a ginger liqueur crafted with 100% organic ginger and layered with jaggery, cardamom, lime, and black salt.

Inspired by Inji Mittai, South India’s nostalgic ginger candy, Kaveri is a bold tribute to tradition — naturally fiery, unapologetically warming, and perfect for darker nights ahead.

Join us for an exclusive sampling event of Kaveri’s fiery orange & ginger margarita and discover the spirited character of Kaveri for yourself.
