Why Everyone Loves This Recipe
This cocktail offers a fresh twist on a classic favorite by adding dill, which brings a bright and herbaceous note. It’s savory, tangy, and refreshing all at once, making it perfect for brunch or a casual gathering. The combination of flavors is both bold and balanced, pleasing those who enjoy a complex drink.
Step 1
Pour some chili-lime seasoning onto a small plate. Take a lime wedge and rub it around the rim of a pint-sized jar, then dip the rim into the seasoning so it sticks. Fill the jar with about a cup of ice and set it aside for now.
Step 2
Grab a cocktail shaker and fill it halfway with ice. Add the Bloody Mary mix, pickle juice, vodka, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Give it a good squeeze of both a lime wedge and a lemon wedge for some fresh citrus flavor.
Step 3
Take a fresh dill sprig and roughly chop it before tossing it into the shaker. Put the lid on and shake everything together for about 10 seconds until it’s well mixed.
Step 4
Pour the drink into your prepared jar, straining out the ice and bits. Garnish with a pickle spear, a little extra dill, and a wedge of lime and lemon to make it look as good as it tastes. Enjoy!
