Pickle people, listen up: You know Whiskey Pickles are the best boozy thing to ever happen to pickles, but now Dill Pickle Vodka is here to one up them. Marty Lloyd, the co-found of Chilled Dills Vodka, was taking shots of vodka and pickle juice on a beach vacay in Florida when his dad suggested they bottle the stuff. Fast forward six years to when I met my new favorite booze.
To make pickle vodka, the process is essentially the same as it'd be in your own home: You take vodka, place pickles inside an infusing bag (basically just a giant tea bag), then pour in pickle juice and a little bit of salt, and let them sit.
The result is FANTASTIC. Ya know how when you take a pickleback shot the pickle juice can be just a tad overwhelming? This is nothing like that. It's the perfect amount of pucker (don't worry, you're still getting a ton of pickle juice flavor) and kinda salty.
I tasted the vodka in a bloody mary (SO GOOD) and a pickle martini (how have I not been drinking these my entire life?!) and was blown away by how delicious it is. EVERY pickle freak—you know who they are—needs a bottle of this in their stocking this Christmas.
