Ingredients
These shots are super easy to make and only require a few ingredients.
Vodka: A good quality vodka always makes any drink better. We used Smirnoff for these shots.
Pickle Juice: Grab a jar of your favorite pickles and pour out the brine into a pourable container. I suggest making sure to strain any pickle seeds that may be lingering in the juice. We used dill pickle juice.
There are also a few optional garnishes you can add for an even better pickle shot experience.
- Tajin Seasoning

- Gherkin Pickles
See recipe card for quantities.

Combine well by stirring the vodka and pickle juice together or gently shaking.
Pour the pickle mixture into shot glasses and garnish. That's it!
It's a ridiculously easy drink that becomes surprisingly addictive.
Now, if you are serving these at a party or just want to up your drink game a bit, you can garnish your shot glasses with a bit of tajin and some pickles!
To do this, first dip the top of each shot glass into a shallow bowl filled with left over pickle brine.
Then dip it into a shallow bowl filled with tajin. Then carefully pour in your pickle vodka mixture.
Top each shot glass with a small gerkin pickle or a pickle spear.
Then you'll have an impressive shot to pass around that's sure to tickle all the pickle lovers out there.
