Pickle Spritz Recipe

(5)

Recipe Intro From stevenfingar

Who knew that leftover pickle brine could transform into a refreshing cocktail? If you have an empty pickle jar in your house, don’t toss it just yet. This Pickle Spritz combines the tangy, salty notes of pickle brine with the bubbly effervescence of brut or champagne, creating a uniquely balanced and delightful drink. It's an easy, unexpected twist on a classic spritz that’s perfect for adventurous sippers. And for those who prefer a non-alcoholic version, simply swap the brut for soda water. Cheers!
