Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day, sassophere! To ensure the road rises up to meet you and the wind is always at your back, the Sassistas! would like to share a special Shamrock cocktail sassgestion with you: a Pickleback. It's a shot of Irish whiskey followed by a shot of pickle juice. According to Jason Wilson in the Washington Post:
A Pickleback is simply awesome. Brine and whiskey make one of those mysteriously wonderful combinations, and it doesn't hurt that pickle juice is second to none in preventing dehydration (thus helping to stave off the post-St. Paddy's Day hangover).
If pickle juice works as a chaser with Irish whiskey, why not other juices and fluids? For example, a shot of Irish Whiskey with a chaser of beet juice: a Beetback. A shot of Irish Whiskey with a chaser of honey: a Bit O' Blarney.
Help the Sassistas! and Minho (beautifully attired for St. Paddy's below) celebrate by creating your own Shamrock cocktail featuring overlooked juices and fluids. Don't forget to give it a special Irish name!
