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.
Tobacco and nicotine use increase alcohol craving.[6]Nicotine poisoning may occur from homemade tobacco infused drinks due to varying quantity of nicotine.[citation needed]
