History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2016 by Keli Rivers at Whitechapel Bar, San Francisco, USA. Keli presented this very tasty cocktail at a seminar on gin and genever at Tales of the Cocktail in July 2016, which is where we were lucky enough to first try it. Originally made with Rutte Celery Gin, the flavour of this gin contributes greatly to that of the finished cocktail.

Review

With its delicate shade of pink from a splash of raspberry liqueur, this cocktail is feistier than it appears with salty gherkin flavours combining brilliantly with celery gin.

Didn't have cornichon brine so tried with jalapeno brine just in case it worked...loving it! Might try it with a few different brines/vinegars just to see the difference

Certainly worth a try. I learned that pickle brine in a cocktail is not really my thing.

As I didn't have celery gin I used homemade bay leaf gin instead. The savoury notes make this a wonderful pre-dinner cocktail.

Great and well rounded cocktail! Replaced the celery gin with normal gin + celery bitters. Worked like a charm!

I didn't have pickle brine so I used 2 dashes of apple cider vinegar, but still: holy crap this drink is amazing. Delecate light flavour, but weirdly also very round and hearty. An absolute joy.

Gerkin brine is brilliant!
