If you substitute beer for the gin, you've got a mantini.
ref: 2011 October 11, Ted Stoltz, Universal Serendipity - Paperback, Lulu.com, →ISBN, page 44:
text: Blends are major sources of new combining forms – as exemplified by vodkatini, which was formed from the blending together of vodka and martini (Leher 2007). The latter source word – before the creation of vodkatini – was unsegmentable from a morphological point of view. However, the creation of the blend licensed a new division, by which -tini became reanalysed as a meaning-bearing unit, denoting ‘a drink made with dry vermouth’. Later on, -tini has been used to create further neologisms, such as whiskytini and tequilatini. The combining form -alicious (‘embodying the qualities denoted or implied by the first element to a delightful or attractive degree’; OED) is an illustrative example of how an overlap blend (that was initially motivated via the phonological similarity of the source words) can later on evolve into a combining form (semantically independent, bound morphemes that started off originally as incomplete parts or bits of words) and generate a constant stream of new words.
