How to use pepperoncini in a martini

You’re likely familiar with seeing pepperoncini in jars at your local grocery store. These mildly spicy, yellow peppers are primarily cultivated in the Mediterranean and are often pickled, making them a popular addition to antipasto platters or Italian sandwiches. While they do have a slight kick, they won’t overwhelm your palate; instead, they add a delightful tang to your martini.
For your own cocktail creation, consider crafting a classic martini using vodka and vermouth, adjusting the ice to your preference (a 50/50 martini is perfect for beginners). Then, stir in about an ounce of pepperoncini brine. Don’t forget to garnish with a pepperoncini (or more if you discover you love them). Invite friends and family over for cocktail hour and pair these drinks with a platter of fresh cheeses, olives, and a selection of roasted vegetables like eggplant, zucchini, and tomatoes. And of course, be sure to have some extra pepperoncini on hand for your guests!
