Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:
Depending on the brand, type, and flavor of the jar of pickles you buy, the juice will taste differently, causing your shot to have that flavor base as well. So, mix it up and go spicy, maybe a little sweet, etc.
Chef Tip
Don't salt the rim! A salted rim on this drink is WAY too salty when combined with the pickle brine. Be sure to run a lime wedge along the rim of the glass and then add the tajin before pouring the liquid to them.
