Description
This Pickle Margarita recipe is going to surprise you! So bright and delicious and perfect for a hot summer day!
Ingredients
Scale
- lime wedge
- coarse kosher salt
- ice
- 1.5oz tequila
- 1.5oz orange liqueur
- 1oz lime juice
- 1oz simple syrup
- 2–2.5oz pickle juice
- garnish: pickle spear + fresh dill
Instructions
- Rub a lime wedge along the edge of a glass. Place some coarse kosher salt on a small plate. Flip the glass upside down and rub the rim in the salt, so it sticks to the rim of the glass.
- Flip the glass back over and add ice.
- Add tequila, orange liquor, lime juice, simple syrup, and 2oz pickle juice to a cocktail shaker. Shake to combine and pour over ice. Taste and if you want a little more pickle flavor add another .5oz of pickle juice.
- Garnish with a pickle spear and some fresh dill.
Notes
- Pickle flavor: we tested this with 1.5oz, 2oz, and 2.5oz of pickle juice. We agreed 1.5oz just wasn’t enough of a pickle taste. We LOVED 2oz and some of us loved the 2.5oz of pickle juice. For the record we also tested 3oz of pickle juice and it was just … too much pickle 🙂
- Pickle Brand: For this recipe I would highly suggest using a brand such as Claussen pickles or our homemade pickles. Something light, bright, and fresh. I wouldn’t use the brands that are artificially colored with that yellow/green color! I just don’t think it would taste the same.
