dry martini

Probably the most recognizable version of Martini known as Dry Martini consists of the same ingredients - gin and dry vermouth. The lesser amount of vermouth in the mix means that the cocktail will be drier, while the extra-dry style consists of just a drop of vermouth or no vermouth at all.

The version with more dry vermouth is known as Wet Martini or simply Martini. Dry Martini is typically stirred in a mixing glass with ice, and it is then served into a chilled cocktail glass with a lemon twist garnish or an olive.

Ghost Pepper

Ghost pepper or bhut jolokia is a hot chili pepper that's cultivated in the Northeast Indian states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur. Due to the fact that it's one of the spiciest chili peppers in the world, the Indian Army even uses them to create military grade chili grenades (smoke bombs). These peppers have a Scoville heat unit ranging from 855,000 to 1,041,427 SHU. The flavors are best described as fruity, sweet, and earthy. These hybrids of Capsicum chinense and Capsicum frutescens were proclaimed the world's hottest chili peppers in 2007 by Guinness World Records, but in 2013 the ghost pepper was superseded by Carolina Reaper, which can be twice as hot. Interestingly, locals sometimes smear ghost peppers on walls and fences to keep wild elephants at bay.
