No. 31Vodka & Gin Pickle Cocktails
Pickle Vodka Soda
Crisp, clean and barely trying.
The Pickle Vodka Soda is the simplest drink in the section: vodka and a half ounce of dill pickle brine topped with soda water over ice, finished with a squeeze of lime. It is crisp, dry and lightly salty, with no added sugar, so it drinks like a briny, grown-up seltzer.

Bar tips
- Pour the soda down a bar spoon to keep as many bubbles as possible.
- Keep the vodka, brine and soda cold; warm soda loses its fizz the moment it hits the ice.
Make it your own
- Use lime or cucumber seltzer in place of plain soda water.
Drink responsibly. This one is for adults of legal drinking age. Want it without the booze? The zero-proof drinks are just as briny.
