Couldn’t find any grillos v8 for Thanksgiving, but also just realized v8 is owned by Campbell’s so fuck 'em anyway.
The gin was gift somebody gave me a while back. People always raise an eyebrow at the bottle, but it’s actually become my favorite.
I don’t drink much anymore, but when I do gin is my go to. I feel like there’s something unique about the botanical notes in Engine compared to other gins, and it works surprisingly well in a variety of cocktails.
Recipe:
1:1 Gin and Pickle Brine (Preferably Grillos)
Top off with Bloody Mary mixer of your choice. I just grabbed this one from the grocery store, but it made a very tasty drink.
Mix well Garnish with pickle and black pepper
Like a bloody Mary with a refreshing kick of dill and gin.
If you don’t like pickles very much you probably won’t like this. Like are you the kind of person who could just eat pickles by themselves?
