On a recent vacation we were introduced to pickle shots. Basically, a shot of bourbon followed by a shot of pickle juice or a chunk of boozy pickle. Tonight I went to see the Santaland Diaries with some friends, proceeded by dinner at a Russian creperie, and followed by drinks at my favorite dive bar. Meanwhile, Joel was at work late and I thought, pickles. Let's do pickles.This is simple. The santas in front are room temp Bulliet bourbon, the back santas are the juice from Claussen dill pickle spears. Shoot the bourbon, then the pickle juice. Boom. Done.
Its weird because I like bourbon and don't want to drown out the flavor, but this actually tastes really good together. These santas are my inheritance from a friend who passed away last year. Connie was an amazing woman and I know she would get a kick out of the way I'm using her little santas.
