  • 1.5 oz pickle brine or to taste
  • 1 oz dry vermouth
  • 3 oz vodka
  • ice for chilling the glass, and for mixing
  • 1 spear pickle for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Chill your martini glass by filling it with ice water and setting it aside.
  • In a mixing glass, combine vodka, dry vermouth, and pickle brine.

Notes

  • On brine quality: Homemade brine works beautifully if you’ve got it! Just ensure it’s strained and free of bits.
  • Make it a party: Pre-mix a large batch and store it in the fridge for a crowd-friendly cocktail option.
  • Shelf life: Pickle brine can last months if refrigerated, so don’t toss it after making the martini.
