This is a special one, extraordinary, I think the best way to enjoy is in the afternoon sun in Mallorca or Ibiza :)
Will keep this one in mind for summer!

Made this again the next night after our first sampling. This time we added 4 drops of olive bitters. The saltiness and flavours of the bitters helped the herbal of the gin and the pickle juice to go to another level. Still on our favourites.

Really liked this cocktail. The vinegar/brine flavour enhances the gin botanicals. Resulting cocktail is going on my favourites.

Ran out of olives, so I thought I'd see if this is a thing, and it is! Great if you love pickles.
