In celebration of National Happy Hour Day, Papa Johns and Aviation American Gin joined forces to create the 'Cini Tini—a pepperoncini gin martini. Papa Johns' first-ever cocktail recipe is said to be refreshing yet spicy, with pepperoncini bringing out the smooth, crisp, botanical notes of Aviation American Gin.
Not currently available for purchase in restaurants, the 'Cini Tini is easy to prepare at home with minimal ingredients (just Aviation Gin and pepperoncini brine.) To prepare, this recipe calls for chilled glasses, a shaker, ice, and pepperoncini to garnish this tangy twist on a crisp, classic martini.
Best paired with a slice of Papa Johns pizza, this martini elevates cozy nights at home with a sophisticated feel.
