VAN HOLTEN'S ECHTE GURKENLAKE PICKLEBACK-MIXER (1 L)

This 1-liter bottle is perfect for my pickleback shots at home, and the brine has just the right balance of salty and tangy. I've been using it as a marinade for chicken too, and it adds a ton of flavor without being overpowering.

Finally, a gallon-sized backup for my bloody mary bar that actually tastes like brine from a real pickle jar, not just salty water. The cap reseals tight enough that I can keep it in the fridge for weeks without it going flat. This is my second jug already.

This 1-liter jug is a solid bang for the buck. I've been using a splash in my beer and even just sipping it straight from the fridge—it's got that sharp, clean bite that wakes you right up. The pickleback shot has been a hit at every get-together so far.
