Meanings

1. A martini cocktail made with a pickle.
   • It was all downhill from there. Now you've got the pickletini, the appletini, the choclatini, and even—good heavens—the bacontini. As different types of alcohol were used in place of gin, that began to shift the name too. In addition to the vodkatini, there's the sakitini, the whiskitini (more commonly known as a smokey martini, but I'm on a roll, here), and the taqini. If you substitute beer for the gin, you've got a mantini. 2011 October 11, Ted Stoltz, Universal Serendipity - Paperback, Lulu.com, →ISBN, page 44:
   • Move over, dirty martini. The pickletini—with our clever Southern spin—is a tangier, more savory, arguably tastier cocktail. We love our pickled okra riff, but if okra isn't your thing, you can simply sub dill pickles (or cornichons). Dry vermouth adds a hint of herbal backbone, but you can omit it if you don't have it on hand. Despite 007's classic order, a traditional martini should be stirred, not shaken, so that it has a weightier mouthfeel (shaking aerates it) and is a bit less diluted. 2022 August 11, Ann Taylor Pittman, “Southern Pickletini”, in Southern Living, archived from the original on 21 Apr 2024:
   • “Hey, man. What can I get you?” “I'll have a light beer.” “No light beer. Here is the beer list. Here is our cocktail list. Why don't you check that out?” “What's a pickletini?” “Uh, it's vodka and pickle juice. Want one?” “Sure. Okay.” “You'll love it.” 2015 March 13, Tom McCarthy, Paul Sado, 31:20 from the start, in The Cobbler, spoken by Max Simkin (Adam Sandler):
