It’s fkn brine time
Brooke has brought countless wonderful things into my life, most topically, pickled things. I made this one afternoon and then, presumably based on demand, many afternoons afterward.
Ready In: 5 Minutes
Serves: 2, but 1 & a sidecar is completely fine too.
Do not fear the dill grubbins in the pickle juice. Embrace the swamp.
Ingredients
100 ml Tito’s vodka
300 ml Grillo’s pickle juice
1tsp olive juice
2 cups ice
1 Chalkidiki olive, halved
I get these ones from Trader Joe’s
1 pickle spear, cut in 1/2” chunks
1 long toothpick
Preparation
Throw it all in shaker.
Assemble your garnish with pickle, olive, pickle, olive, and munch on the rest of your pickle spear.
Shake the living fuck out of your shaker for 30 seconds. It should be an embarrassingly physical endeavor, but it makes a difference.
Serve asap while it’s still frothy.
Tips
The ratio is just 3:1 PJ to vodka, with a splash of olive juice, so if you’re making this in a batch, as I am often asked, using a mason jar’s markings is a great alternative to measuring out your shots.
