Nicotini
Template:Short description A nicotini refers to any alcoholic drink that includes nicotine as an ingredient. Nicotinis are often made by infusing vodka with tobacco leaves, which is said to give the resulting beverage a 'smoky' flavor.[1]
Etymology
Its name is modeled after the word "martini" in the fashion of such drinks as the appletini.[2]
Usage and history
In places which ban smoking, use of the nicotini provides smokers with the opportunity to manage cravings without stepping outside to smoke.[3][4][5] Where nicotinis are not sold, a similar experience can be had by consuming a nicotine replacement therapy product such as nicotine chewing gum, followed by the consumption of an alcoholic beverage.
Ingredients and variations
Nicotine replacement therapy products may be used to add a verified quantity of nicotine to produce a nicotini. The New York Times Magazine reported that one variation of the nicotina includes Kahlúa, a coffee-flavored liquor.[2]
Health risks
Tobacco and nicotine use increase alcohol craving.[6] Nicotine poisoning may occur from homemade tobacco infused drinks due to varying quantity of nicotine.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
