Martini Bianco



Martini Bianco | Local Fortified Wine From Turin, Italy |

In the past known as bianchissimo (the whitest), Martini Bianco is a variety of sweetened dry vermouth—fortified and aromatized wine—that was first introduced in 1910. Although the exact recipe is a closely guarded secret, Martini Bianco is made from filtered white wine that is sweetened and infused with different botanicals that include vanilla flowers, spices, herbs, citrus zest, barks, and roots.

This clear drink is characterized by its layered combination of flavors and aromas that include spicy, floral, citrus, and sweet vanilla notes. In Europe, Martini Bianco is usually enjoyed as an aperitif, preferably served neat with ice and orange peel.

However, it can also work well mixed with soda water, tonic water, or lemonade, as well as a great cocktail ingredient that ideally replaces sweet vermouth. Martini Bianco is produced by the Turin-based company Martini&Rossi, which have an array of different vermouth styles, including the classic sweet red vermouth Martini Rosso.

Kakori kebab is a traditional meat dish originating from the Indian town of Kakori in Uttar Pradesh. These kebabs are famous for their tender texture and fragrant aromas. They're prepared with a combination of mutton, ghee, eggs, cinnamon, and (often) chickpeas. The meat is marinated in a mixture of onions, mace, nutmeg, cumin, cardamom, cloves, green chili peppers, coriander, salt, black pepper, and ginger and garlic paste in order to become extremely tender. After being shaped into small elongated kebabs and skewered, the meat is cooked in a tandoor until done, and it's then usually served hot with chutneys on the side.

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were proclaimed the world's hottest chili peppers in 2007 by Guinness World Records, but in 2013 the ghost pepper was superseded by Carolina Reaper, which can be twice as hot.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.
