The Pickled Caesar

There's nothing I love more than pickles. In fact, I love them so much that I've been known to drink the pickle juice after the last pickle has been eaten. Then one day I got the brilliant idea of mixing a bit of the brine in with my Caesar. I couldn't believe how amazing it tasted. From there, I started trying different variations of adding pickle juice to my Caesar. This is the tastiest recipe I've come up with.


1 oz. vodka
2 dashes of Tabasco Sauce
3 dashes of salt and pepper
4 dashes of Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp of pickle juice
4 to 6 oz. of Clamato juice

Garnish:
Dill Rimmer
1 stalk of celery
1 wedge of lime
1/4 dill pickle

Use the wedge of the lime to moisten the rim of the glass. Rim with dill rimmer. Fill glass with ice. Add all ingredients and stir well. Garnish with a wedge of lime, dill pickle, and celery stalk.

**Instead of using pickle juice in the mix, make ice cubes out of the pickle brine and use in place of regular ice cubes.
