“This is a surprisingly tasty twist on a classic martini,” writes Dallas food blogger Maegan Brown in her new cookbook, Brilliant Bites. “The addition of dill pickle juice gives this cocktail a deliciously dirty tang.” Garnished with a crunchy cornichon and fresh dill sprig, the drink is a must-try for pickle lovers.
Ice, for the cocktail shaker
2 oz. vodka or gin (based on personal preference)
½ oz. dry vermouth
½ oz. dill pickle juice
1 cornichon, for garnishing
1 sprig fresh dill, for garnishing
Chill a coupe glass. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the vodka (or gin), vermouth, and pickle juice to a cocktail shaker and shake for 10 to 20 seconds, until well chilled. Strain into the chilled coupe glass and garnish with the cornichon and sprig of dill.
