THE PICKLETINI

DIFFICULTY

Easy

WHAT'S IN IT

2 oz American Mustard Gin
0.5 oz Dry Vermouth
0.5 oz pickle brine

HOW IT'S MADE
  • Add all the ingredients to a mixing glass with ice.
  • Stir until well chilled.
  • Strain into a chilled coupe glass.
WHAT IT'S LIKE

All that's good about a classic Martini - with a couple of added benefits - namely any idiot can make it in minutes and unlike the fast foods that also depend for flavour on pickles, it's low-carb (as if you actually care).

JAMES' TASTING NOTES

A Martini that has the salty-savory sting of olive brine...but more of it. To be enjoyed with any sort of fast food, preferably served (as Jay Leno insists) by someone in a paper hat.

American Mustard

American Mustard (previously known as ‘Ramstud’ in the US) distils the essential flavours of the United States - hot-dog mustard and dill pickles to create something really spectacular.

It is therefore the perfect accompaniment to every traditional American fast food recipe, but we don't recommend using it as a garnish. That would be a waste.
