While the exact origin of the Pickle Juice Whiskey Sour as a specific cocktail isn’t as clearly defined as some classics, the concept of pairing whiskey with pickle juice is rooted in the popularity of the Pickleback shot. The Pickleback, a shot of whiskey followed by a shot of pickle brine, gained significant traction in the mid-2000s, particularly in bars in Brooklyn, New York.
The Pickle Juice Whiskey Sour can be seen as a more sophisticated and sippable evolution of the Pickleback, incorporating the familiar sour format to balance the unique flavors. Its popularity has grown as adventurous drinkers seek out new and interesting flavor combinations in cocktails.
