Examples

“It was all downhill from there. Now you've got the pickletini, the appletini, the choclatini, and even—good heavens—the bacontini. As different types of alcohol were used in place⟳ of gin, that began to shift the name⟳ too. In addition to the vodkatini, there's the sakitini, the whiskitini (more commonly known as a smokey martini, but I'm on a roll, here), and the taqini. If you substitute beer for the gin, you've got a mantini.”

““Ooh, somebody's been working out.” “Oh, are you kidding? I practically live⟳ at the gym.” “Oh. [giggles] I'm called Vespertina.” “Well, I call⟳ you adorable. Girlfriend, that costume is to die⟳ for. Barkeep, two appletinis, s'il vous plait.””

“Today so many almost ridiculous versions of this drink⟳ exist⟳ that some drink⟳ menus actually have⟳ a special martini page. Varieties include⟳ the appletini, hazeltini, cherry martini, Cajun martini, habanero martini, pometini, chocolatini, and even a bacontini! Lest it be buried forever in this avalanche of new "exoticatinis," here is a classic recipe from a very old bartender's manual.”

“"I don't know⟳ what you like⟳, so I brought a variety," he said. "We have⟳ appletinis, berrytinis, even a bananatini, and, of course, the highly coveted chocotini. I've heard it gives women orgasms." He winked. "Oh ! I'll be careful with that one." "Let's find⟳ a place⟳ to sit⟳ and get⟳ to know⟳ each other," Cory said, leading her to a high table surrounded by stools.”
