For pickle lovers: pickle juice in a can

Stock augurken

We’re no longer surprised by a little pickle juice in our cocktail or vinaigrette. But putting it in a can and drinking it goes a bit too far for us. Gordy’s Pickle Jar thought otherwise, and is making cans of pickle juice a reality.

The thought of putting our mouths to a can of pickle juice fills us with horror, but apparently the drink is mainly intended for use in cocktails. A pickled Bloody Mary or martini, for example. Now that sounds a lot better.

Subtle acidity

The subtle acidity in pickle juice can bring dishes nicely into balance: a splash in the mayonnaise before spreading it on your bread, for example. Just like salt, pickle juice brings out that little bit of extra flavor in every dish.

Oh, and did you know that pickle juice also works really well in marinades for meat? The acidity makes the meat extra tender. So there are plenty of uses, but we think we’ll stick to a jar that actually contains pickles.

If you do happen to have a huge craving for a can of sourness, you can order one online.
