Tips Tricks and FAQs
- You can use the pickle juice from the pickle jars. If you don’t have any extra pickle juice on hand you can buy pickle brine, but this is harder to find.
- The type of pickle juice you use will change the taste of your pickle shot. So mix it up with the type of juice you use.
- The tajin seasoning is the perfect addition to help cut down the strong pickle flavor. It’s super delicious.
- If you are going to dip the rim of the glass in tajin seasoning then you want to do this prior to adding the pickle shot.
- Do not salt the rim of a pickle shot. This makes it way too salty when you use pickle brine.
