Nicotini straight up

For those sipping appletinis from their sleek leather barstools, but not exactly enjoying the experience thanks to a statewide smoking ban nicotine fit, there's a new drink in town -- the nicotini.

Why not? If Obama runs around campaigning with nicotine gum in his suit pocket, why shouldn't a bar patron enjoy a nicotine-infused cocktail? One Chicago bartender is mixing up a flurry of nic-cocktails for addicted patrons. Order up a lemongrass nicotine fizz or a nicotine chocolatini at the Viet Bistro and your cravings will be fed thanks to drinks made from a sugar cane juice base steeped with Flying Dutchman tobacco.

While you're not inhaling carcinogens, how much nicotine do these drinks actually serve up to your bloodstream? Nicotine poisoning is serious -- it is possible to overdose when simultaneously combining nicotine gum or patches with smoking. Whether nic-cocktails are a gimmick or here to stay, has anyone ordered one, yet?
