Notes
Preparation
To Make Ahead: The pickletini is a great freezer door cocktail. You can make it up to a few days ahead of time and store in the fridge or freezer until ready to serve. Just give it a good shake first and reserve the garnishes until it's time to sip.
To large batch this cocktail, combine 1 ¼ cup gin, four ounces pickle juice, two ounces and dry vermouth then shake or stir over ice. This pickle juice martini pitcher recipe makes up to four servings. You can adjust the settings in my recipe card below to multiply by the number of servings you want to make.
Can I make this a pickle martini shot recipe? Yes. The recipe as written makes about 4.5 ounces of liquid, which is enough for three standard shots. Divide the cocktail evenly between three shot glasses and enjoy with your people!
