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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juniper-sour) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 31% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Home-mixology Kits:** The rise of simplified cocktail recipes tailored for at-home preparation enhances the appeal of home-mixology kits. - **Botanical Infused Spirits:** The use of botanical notes in spirits like Aviation American Gin taps into consumer interest in complex, flavorful profiles. - **Food and Beverage Pairing:** Crafting beverages specifically designed to complement food items such as pizza introduces a new layer of culinary experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Ready-to-drink Cocktails:** The potential for ready-to-drink versions of popular cocktails like the 'Cini Tini opens up new avenues in the beverage market. - **Home Entertaining:** The surge in interest for home-prepared cocktails is transforming the sector of home entertaining and party supplies. - **Specialty Spirits:** Innovations that highlight unique flavor combinations are driving growth and differentiation within the specialty spirits industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Indulgent Pizza Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tomatini-cocktail.md) - [Pepperoncini-Infused Drink Creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cini-dirty-soda.md) - [Savory Tomato Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/papa-johns-tomatini.md) - [Italian-Style Savory Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cacio-e-pepe-martini.md) - [Martini-Inspired Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-martini-pizza.md) - [Briny Anchovy Martinis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gilda-martini.md) - [Pizza Bagel Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloody-mary-with-a-twist.md) - [Savory Tomato Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tomatini.md) - [Botanically Boosted Juniper Sours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juniper-sour.md)
