Whether you're serving them up for a party, or just looking for a salty beverage, these delectable shots are sure to hit the spot.

Ingredients
Dill Pickle Juice: First and foremost, the star of this show: a sour, briny punch that's bound to make your taste buds do a double take! You can find pickle brine on it's own in the store, but pickle juice from the jar in your fridge works just as well.
Vodka: Subtle, smooth and slightly sweet. This boozy base provides just enough backbone to tame the zesty pickle juice. We used Smirnoff, but you can use your favorite type of vodka.
Garnish: Pickle slices or a tajin rim work well with this shot.
Instructions
Start by adding the delicious duo of pickle juice and vodka to your shaker, cup or measurin' glass.
Give it a stir or a gentle shake and let its magic mingle!
If you want to rim your shot glasses with some tajin, dip the shot glass rim in some pickle juice and then into a shallow dish of tajin to create a spicy wow factor.
Finally, pour that pickled perfection into the glasses and garnish with a pickle slice or gherkin if you're feeling particularly fancy.
Now's serve up that tantalizingly tangy shot. Cheers!
Garnish Ideas
These pickle shots allow for lots of fun garnish ideas. Here are some of my favorites.
Pickles, Olives and Gherkins: Why not up your garnishing game with a pickled trifecta? These bite-sized snacks bring just the right amount of crunch and tangy flavor.
Tajin: A Mexican seasoning made from chile peppers, lime, salt and other spices. Edging the rim the edges of your shot glass with this zesty seasoning will take your shot to the next level.
Bacon: Bacon really does make everything better, why stop here? Get creative with the salty strips for a smokey and savory twist.
Top Tips
Spice up your shot game with pickles of all kinds: Depending on the type and flavor you choose, your shot will have an entirely unique flavor base.
Get daring and try something a little sweet, or go wild with the spicy ones for a truly memorable experience. Pickle juice has never tasted so good!
Add the Tajin Rim: It's great for cutting down the strong flavor of the pickle juice and makes for an delicious combo.
Skip the salt: Save your taste buds from an overly salty experience! Adding salt to the rim when combining pickle brine is a big no-no. The results won't be pleasant and you'll regret it, so trust us on this one and skip the extra seasoning.
