Lal Sharbat

Traditional Rooh Afza and a tribute to Left's liquidated Struggle in Pakistan; comes with traces of lemon - Reminiscence of still present oral resistance.

Civil Military Mix aka dudh soda - A Pakistani household offering of sorts! Meek and mild civil milk is mixed with uniformed but effervescent soda; higgledy-piggledy saccharine elements of intelligentsia are whimsically added to sweeten the mix. Taste may vary as its 'work in progress' recipe albeit decades of experimentation. It has particular digestive value for progressive & democratic stomachs.

Development milkshakes - Refreshing varieties: top down, participatory, bottom up (the difference is of apertures; substance remains the same!); aided with loaned ice creams.

All these and more available at CJ, Islamabad, started by LSE Alumnus Arshad Bhatti (also an uncle of an ex-classmate). More at http://www.civiljunction.org/menu.html

Don't know about you, but I wouldn't pay for a Musharraf Guespresso, though I can guess it should be very popular with the liberal elite. Brilliant venture nonetheless.
