Description

The Pickletini is a bold and surprisingly delicious twist on the classic Martini cocktail. For anyone who loves savory and umami-rich flavors, this drink is a revelation. Instead of olive brine, as in a Dirty Martini, it uses the salty, tangy brine from pickles. The result is a dry, savory, and complex cocktail with a distinctive note that enlivens the palate and works perfectly as an aperitif. A modern drink for the adventurous connoisseur.

Preparation

  1. Fill a martini glass or coupe with ice to pre-chill it.
  2. Fill a mixing glass with ice cubes.
  3. Add the gin (or vodka), dry vermouth, and pickle brine.
  4. Stir the drink until well-chilled, about 20-30 seconds, until the mixing glass is frosted on the outside. Do not shake.
  5. Discard the ice from the cocktail glass.
  6. Strain the contents of the mixing glass into the chilled glass.
  7. Garnish with a small, firm gherkin.
