Served in a crisp hollowed-out dill pickle half that’s rimmed with Old Bay seasoning and garnished with an olive, Triple Sun Spirits’ Bloody Mary Pickle Shot is a must-try for Bloody Mary lovers. “It’s our secret house recipe,” manager Cynthia Kwant says of the concoction.
The drink originated from a desire to bring something unique to Triple Sun’s specialty shot menu. “Pickles were becoming hugely popular in so many things from beer to cocktails, and I wanted to incorporate it into our menu in a slightly different way,” Kwant explains.
So, what’s the right way to consume the drink? “Most eat the olive, take the shot and just eat the pickle,” she says, describing the flavor profile as spicy and savory, balanced out by the sourness of the pickle. “A Bloody Mary isn’t for everyone; however, those who love them are always intrigued when they see it, and most end up ordering one and are pleasantly surprised.”
While the shot is a recent offering for the distillery, it’s already been growing in popularity and is likely to be found on the menu permanently.
