A pickleback is whiskey shot chased by a shot of pickle brine.
The shot of whiskey can even be chased with a bite of a pickle. The idea is the pickle juice helps to smooth and soften the bite from the whiskey. Anyone who has tried a pickleback shot typically becomes an instant fan. The combo works famously! For the pickleback with a kick, Ole Smoky Moonshine offers its Moonshine Pickles—dill pickles, pickled in moonshine.
Think of the possibilities. A shot of whiskey chased with a shot of dill pickle flavored moonshine. Or the Sunday brunch Bloody Mary with moonshine pickles added as a garnish.
Along with Moonshine Pickles, Ole Smoky Distillery is ready to launch its latest innovation—Moonshine Pineapples! The brand also infuses other ingredients with moonshine like cherries and peaches.
The brand reminds bartenders to play around with riffs on the classic Boiler Maker—a shot of whiskey paired with beer. Its flavored moonshines and whiskeys complement a wide range of beer types making for modern whiskey and beer pairings.
“There is nothing better than a chilled shot of Mango Habanero Whiskey with an ice-cold beer,” says Ole Smoky Distillery V.P. of On-Premise Mason Engstrom. “Or a shot of our Blackberry Moonshine dropped right into a pint of light beer. It’s kind of a twist on the traditional Boiler Maker. We have found out that many of our flavors work great with different styles of beer.”
