Dill Pickle Shots

I hope this comprehensive guide has inspired you to try making your own Dill Pickle Shots! They’re a fun, flavorful, and surprisingly easy drink that’s sure to be a conversation starter.

Ingredients

Scale

Here’s the complete list of ingredients, with precise measurements:

  • 4 oz vodka (or tequila for a fun twist)
  • 4 oz dill pickle juice (from a jar of your favorite pickles)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
  • Ice
  • Pickle slices or spears (for garnish)

For the Rim (Optional):

  • 2 tbsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dill weed

These quantities are perfect.

Remember to prepare ingredients before starting.

Instructions

Let’s break down the process into easy-to-follow steps.

Step 1: Prepare the Rim (Optional). If you want an extra punch of flavor, mix the kosher salt, garlic powder, and dill weed on a small plate. Run a pickle slice around the rims of your shot glasses, then dip them in the seasoning mix to coat the rims.

Step 2: Shake It Up. In a cocktail shaker, add the vodka (or tequila), dill pickle juice, and lemon juice (if using). Fill the shaker with ice. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, until the mixture is well chilled.

Step 3: Strain & Pour. Strain the mixture into four shot glasses.

Step 4: Garnish & Serve. Garnish each shot with a mini pickle slice or spear for a fun touch. Serve immediately.

These instructions are very simple.
