Review:

An Irish Whiskey Sour made special and distinctive by a salty pickle influence. So much better than a Pickle Back and as it's from Mojo, much more rock and roll.

Tried this just because I wanted something with Irish Whiskey and it sounded a bit odd. I am so glad we had this. It is outstanding. The salt and pickle juice adds an interesting character. Everything works together well to produce a smooth and flavourful cocktail. The pickle garnish enhanced the experience.

This is a surprisingly smooth and tasty drink! I don't think it needs the pinch of pickle salt in the drink if the rim is well coated though. I didn't have a dill pickle/gherkin to hand but a pickled asparagus spear worked perfectly as a garnish.
