Whether you order pepperoni, sausage, or the ultimate combination of ingredients, one thing is always served with a Papa Johns pizza, the signature pepperoncini. Move over swicy because this summer people are thirsty for a new dirty drink. Ready to sip on ‘Cini Dirty Soda?
Papa Johns has found many ways to celebrate its pepperoncini. The specialty martini, in collaboration with Aviation Gin, was a satisfying way to elevate pizza night. The vibrantly colored, slightly tangy cocktail had everyone feeling a little sophisticated but not too bougie.
But, some people prefer not to imbibe. While the concept of infusing a pepperoncini pepper into a simple syrup can work in mocktails, the key is to get the full flavor and color effect. The best mocktails are the one where no one wants to add a shot to the glass.
In a twist that no one saw coming, Papa Johns partnered with Mountain Dew to create the 'Cini Dirty Soda. This special drink combines the tanginess of the pepper with the sweet, citrus Mountain Dew. One sip and people will be intrigued.
This collaboration is a smart move for both food and beverage brands. The flavors work well together. The pepper is not overly spicy, but it cuts through the sweetness of the Mountain Dew. Citrus and peppers are another classic combination.
More importantly, the two flavors work well with the Papa Johns tomato sauce. Whether the pizza is topped with simple cheese, piled high with pepperoni, or combines some other unique ingredients, the beverage pairs well with almost everything.
