Smokers dejected over Chicago's smoking ban can drown their sorrows in a Nicotini ($12) at Viet Bistro & Lounge. Yes, we're talking about nicotine-infused cocktails, a fix in a glass previously seen in London. Viet's sommelier/bar-chef Rashed Islam steeps loose Dutch tobacco in sugarcane juice with lemongrass and peppercorn, then strains and reduces it to a liqueur. For a sweet dessert drink, this base is mixed with chocolate liqueur; for a more savory flavor profile, with premium vodka or grape gin. Curious cocktailers can sample before committing.
