Its a trendy new drink featuring whiskey and pickle juice. And they say its yummy!

From News-Leader here:

Guy walks into a bar and orders a shot of whiskey followed by a chaser of pickle juice. Except, it’s no joke. The lip-puckering combination, called a pickle back, is morphing from insider’s secret to trendy drink.

And New York bartender Jason Littrell says it’s quite tasty, provided you use good quality brine. “Conceptually, I can see how it wouldn’t make sense, but once you try it then it’s like — OK, I get it. It’s just delicious,” he says.

As with all good bar stories, the origins of the pickle back aren’t particularly clear. It’s generally held to emanate from New York and can be found in a number of bars there. It can be a shot of bourbon followed by a shot of pickle brine, but more often than not starts with a shot of Jameson Irish whiskey.

Okay, I love pickle juice. Whenever I finish a jar of pickles, I usually drink most of the brine. Probably not good for me, but I love dill, salt and water, what can I say? I might try this concoction at my next party.
