Notes
- Remember, paan shots are best served chilled. Always store it in the freezer, if you make this in advance, let it thaw before serving.
- Instead of ice cream, you can use whipped cream too.
- While blending, you must know that there should be a bit of texture in the drink so that you will get the same flavour and mouthfeel that comes when eating a paan.
- To serve, using your finger or paper towel, grease the rim of the glass with a bit of water and then apply shredded coconut.
