Exploring new cocktail: Is the Pickle Margarita any good?

Exploring new cocktail: Is the Pickle Margarita any good?

At a gathering with friends, I heard somebody mention that they had a pickle margarita somewhere and I thought straight away that I would have to try this as well. So, at my next cocktail evening at home, I added to my usual margarita recipe some pickle juice. 

As I like margaritas and pickles, it was a no-brainer for me. I approve. 

Recipe:

  • 45ml silver tequila 
  • 15ml triple sec 
  • 20ml pickle juice (not sweet)
  • 30ml lime juice 
  • Garnish: Gunmetal lime and cornichon

Method:

  • Chill the glass in the freezer for a bit or fill it with ice and water and toss it before you pour your cocktail.
  • Make salt rim by rubbing lime wedge onto the rim and dipping the rim into flaked salt.
  • Pour ingredients into a shaker and shake it properly for at least 10 seconds.
  • Pour your cocktail and garnish it with Mixso’s lime garnish. 

Suggestions:

  • 5-10ml sugar syrup can be added for sweetness
  • I used Always Fresh dill cucumber juice
  • Use fresh lime juice or fresh lime juice packets, not concentrate
