Forget the cosmopolitan Set aside the mojito. A new drink has emerged on trendy Las Olas Boulevard since restaurants were forced to ban smoking -- the nicotini.

These tobacco-spiked martinis are being served up for die-hard smokers who don't want to leave their barstools and go outside to light up.

Soak tobacco leaves in vodka overnight, deaden the juice's harshness by adding a couple other liquors, and voilà, the nicotini of Las Olas.

He serves his nicotinis chilled and offers several varieties. Prices range from $3 for a shot to $5.50 for a full cocktail.

"It tastes like a cross between vodka and chewing tobacco," said Fort Lauderdale resident Jonathan Cook after trying his first nicotini. "That's not necessarily a bad thing."

3. Bleccch!

I smoke, and rather heavily, I might add, but nothing is raunchier than the taste of chew.

5. I could never get the finger thump down

There is nothing about that that sounds appealing.

4. None for me, thanks

I smoke and I think I'd just have to get up and step outside. I've chewed tobacco before and I find it pleasant as a once in a while kind of thing, but don't swallow the juice. It'll make you :puke:

6. I agree. But I have no idea the last time I chewed or dipped

But I can smoke (unfortuneately)all day.

Ummmmm walk around the block for crying out loud.

7. Oh Yuk!

Taking bets: How long before Absolut comes out with tobacco vodka?

8. Absolut .............................Lucky Strike

Envision your own graphic.

Why vodka? Why not Bourbon or Scotch (hell that couldn't taste any worse and I suspect anyone who sould drive that would drink anything anyway). Glad I snuck that in there without anyone noticing.

:scared:

9. Yum! Do I have to take my patch off?

More seriously, you know you can use just about anything to add the bitter flavor essential to beer
