dill pickle vodka martini

I love dill...and dill pickles...and anything dill flavored. Except martinis.

Last summer we made Caesars with dill pickle vodka. The recipe is great but I'm not a Casear lover - I don't mind them but I never think to make them. So we had a lot of dill pickle vodka left. I thought - hey dill pickle martinis sound interesting, let's give it a try.

I was not a fan. At all. I took two sips and abandoned my drink. James said the taste got better after the first sip. He lied. See for yourself...

Cock-Tail Scale (out of 5*)
James 1.5*
Mellissa 0.5* (the .5 is for the pickle)

James drank his. I didn't. In fact I made myself a Kirkland margarita instead. Much better.
