This pickle juice whiskey sour takes it to the next level. It's unexpected but somehow works brilliantly. Don't knock it till you try it!

Easy Pickleback Recipe

Pickleback shots originated from The Bushwick Country Club bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Reggie Cunningham is thought to be the originator of the popular shot back in 2006.

Here's what you'll need to make my pickleback inspired cocktail at home:

• Whiskey or bourbon
• Pickle juice
• Fresh lime juice
• Simple syrup
• Cocktail mixing glass
• Cocktail glasses
• Ice

To make this simple cocktail, stir the whiskey, lime juice, and simple syrup together in your mixing glass. Pour into 2 cocktail glasses filled with ice. Garnish, if desired, and serve.
