Olterra Unveils "In Search of Bengal 2.0" - A Tribute to the Rich Heritage of West Bengal through Mixology

Olterra proudly presents "In Search of Bengal 2.0," an extraordinary cocktail menu that is more than just a collection of drinks—it is an immersive journey into the heart of West Bengal's rich and often forgotten cultural and culinary heritage. This menu brings to life the flavors, stories, and mysteries of Bengal, from the towering Himalayas of Kalimpong to the deep mangroves of Sundarbans. Each cocktail is a tribute, a reimagined creation that honors Bengal's ancient traditions and the lost treasures of its land.

7th Mile pays homage to Kalimpong, blending Patrón Silver Tequila with the nutty richness of Kalimpong cheese and the tangy vibrance of Gundruk. This cocktail evokes the diverse cultural spirit of the Himalayan town, perfectly capturing the essence of its culinary history.

The legendary Chhanabora of Murshidabad, crafted under the whims of royalty, finds new life in Cossimbazar—a decadent mix of Aberfeldy 12 Scotch, peanut butter, and black cardamom. It transports you to an era of opulence and Mughal splendor, with every sip reminiscent of the sweet, smoky allure of this lost dessert.

The Falls & Tribes cocktail takes you to Purulia, where ancient tribal wisdom is bottled into a stunning concoction using rare foraged plants like Lal Kudrum and Pipplash leaf. It’s a tribute to the resilience of Bengal’s indigenous tribes and their deep connection to the land.

The Tales of Mangrove drinks in the wild beauty of Sundarbans, using multifloral honey harvested from deep within the mangrove forests. Mixed with Bombay Sapphire Gin and housemade Mangrove Bitters, this cocktail echoes the untamed wilderness and the delicate balance of life in the world’s largest mangrove forest.

Each cocktail in "In Search of Bengal 2.0" is a story, a portal into Bengal's past—its timeless traditions, deep history, and the fading flavors of a land too rich to forget. Olterra invites you to experience Bengal in a glass, a sensory voyage that will awaken your soul and stir your imagination. 

Rediscover the heart of Bengal, one sip at a time.
