On TikTok, Alessandra Pizzorni shares recipes for unconventional sweet and savory "tinis" ranging from umami favorites like The Miso Tini and brand-inspired beverages like The Crumbl Tini, as well as non-alcoholic options like the Hot Okra Mocktini that are just as inventive.
This non-alcoholic option makes the most of Ritual Zero Proof's award-winning non-alcoholic gin alternative, plus a staple of a dirty martini—olive brine—then veers into unknown territory with hot okra brine, olive oil, hot sauce and a topping of black pepper.
Alessandra Pizzorni's Hot Okra Mocktini cocktail recipe blends the sophistication of a classic martini with the depth of savory drinks, and the accessibility of a non-alcoholic serve that can be enjoyed by all who are daring enough.
