Welcome to my freezer! A torn into box of hash browns that my son eats for breakfast with an egg and Trader Joe’s butter chicken cradle a genius idea. Pickle vodka.
On their web site, “Regardless of where you enjoy your Chilled Dills pickle flavored vodka, there’s a little beach in every bottle” rings true. I live at the beach, and pickle vodka makes the beach that much better.
Distilled and bottled in Charleston, SC, Chilled Dills is also available in North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, and by mail in many states. Liquor laws are tricky things.
Their web site has recipes and ideas on how to enjoy. It’s popular in Bloody Mary’s around Charleston; straight up chilled or on the rocks is flat out adult pickle juice. It’s a little thicker than plain vodka and has almost a creamy feel to it. But the flavor is a perfect dilly, salty, vinegary dream. Although I’m not sure there’s any vinegar in their patented process. I clearly need to take a tour.
My son hates all things pickles – that really raises some other questions – and I get to see that perfected teen-aged eye-roll every time I bring home a new pickle-flavored thing that will one day grace this blog. He recently said, “Mom, I swear, if they made pickle-flavored vodka, you’d drink it.” I opened the freezer and showed him this. I got an eye-roll AND a head shake. Mission accomplished.
