You Can Now Drink Pickle Juice Out Of A Can

If you’re into that sweet-and-sour dill taste that sticks to your Chick-fil-A sandwich even if there isn’t a pickle anywhere in sight, then you’re in luck.

Thanks to D.C.-based pickle company Gordy’s Pickle Jar, you can now drink pickle juice out of a can. The unusual beverage, titled Fine Brine, is described on the website as the “Perfect balance of salty, tangy, and sweet.”

According to the Tasting Table, Fine Brine launched two months ago, but is “just starting to really roll out distribution.”

After deciding to go into the pickling business, Sarah Gordon and Sheila Fain founded Gordy’s Pickle Jar in 2011.

“It’s a very natural extension of our existing product line, as we have always encouraged our customers to repurpose their leftover brine and to start thinking of pickle juice as an ingredient in its own right,” Gordy’s co-founder Sarah Gordon said.

The brine is a by-product of Gordy’s Hot Chili Spears, meaning it is going to have a spicy kick, and comes with the suggested use as cocktail enhancer.

“It’s literally a burst of acid and flavor all in one that brightens cocktails and dishes in a very subtle, balanced way. It rounds out cocktails and cooking recipes similar to how a pinch of salt does,” Gordon told the Tasting Table.

The cans are currently available online in packs of four for $16 or individually at the Shaw and Dupont locations of Glen’s Garden Market for $2.79.

Gordy’s also sells other southern delights such as bloody Mary mix, cherry pepper spread, sweet chips, sweet pepper relish, and Thai basil jalapenos.

For the ultimate pickle-infused margarita, Gordon and Fain recommend mixing 1.5 ounces of blanco tequila, 1 ounce of Gordy’s Fine Brine,.5 ounce of lime juice,.5 ounce of Cointreau,.5 ounce of simple syrup, and two dashes of orange bitters in a shaker over ice.

Shake and pour the mixture into a salt-rimmed glass full of ice cubes, garnish with a lime wheel, and voila!

If margaritas aren’t really your drink-of-choice, each can of Gordy’s Fine Brine comes with a cocktail recipe developed by Adam Bernbach of 2 Birds 1 Stone.

In other pickle-related news, the writers of RocketNews24 in Japan have managed to order an $80 whopper from Burger King.

The writers apparently called ahead to their local BK and ordered 700 extra dill pickle slices on their Whopper.

“Obviously, the towering almost-entirely-pickles-Whopper was far too big to eat like a regular burger, so the whole sad, mutated mass had to be disassembled and eaten piecemeal by everyone in the office,” the RocketNews24 staff wrote.

“So basically, one guy ended up just eating a regular Whopper and everyone else walked away with hundreds of pickles. Which begs the question, if we can’t even eat these ridiculous concoctions of ours as they’re intended, why even bother with all this?”
