We're shaking things up this July for National Pickle Month, honoring one of our favorite vegetables the Tito's Handmade Vodka way.
Pickles aren't just a great snack or garnish on top of a Bloody Mary; they're even more delicious infused in a cocktail, especially one from our Tito's test kitchen. Doesn't matter if you like 'em sour or spicy, we have a handful of recipes that will have you puckering up for more.
Just like the art of making cocktails, pickles have been carefully crafted for ages. Pickling is a process of preserving foods by fermentation (think kimchi) or immersing in vinegar, which is the most common way to transform a cucumber into a pickle. If you need a few tips and pointers on how to make pickles with a Tito's twist, check out our DIY Pickles and Pickle & Jalapeño Infusion recipe.
Celebrate National Pickle Month with us and mix up one (or all three) of our infused cocktail recipes below.
Cheers!
