Turkey Load
In honor of this day when the alchemist brought out his pickle (we went to get him at the station last night, but the police are starting to know him and even told us they " enjoy his company ") we offer you the Turkey Load .
Pickle, turkey, load? Ishhhh this story is not going in the right direction.
AND YOU ARE RIGHT!
If we consider that common sense is linked to a classic cocktail, well it doesn't go in that direction - and besides, you don't need a PhD in Mixology from the Oxford University of Fine Mixologist.
For gun shot lovers you certainly won't be disappointed (aka those who like to do pickle juice shots ).
To make the Turkey Load, you'll need our delicious pickle gin.
So here are the instructions:
-3 ounces of gin-pickle
-1.5 ounces of Vermouth (you can try the one from Ungava - made in Quebec)
-1.5 ounces of your favorite tonic (for us it's Diet President's Choice, you can't go wrong... THE PRESIDENT CHOSE IT!!! THE PRESIDENT!!!)
-2 fresh dill shoots
You're going to start by putting the dill in the shaker or you're going to shake it a little with your big pickle (pestle or muddler for short), then you add all the liquids and a few ice cubes. You shake it all up and down, calmly and confidently, making good eye contact with your loved one... no reference to the pickle here, we're careful so you don't make any associations. Then you filter it into a pickle-shaped cocktail glass if you have one, otherwise a nice little trendy cocktail glass. In case of crisis, you can even use an old plastic sponge bob glass. Then you garnish with a few dill shoots and you're ready for action.
