Turn Your Pickles Into Bloody Mary Shot Glasses And Thank Us Later

Tips for making bloody mary pickle shots

Making Bloody Mary pickle shots is quite simple, especially if you're already acquainted with the classic Bloody Mary cocktail. Begin by selecting some large pickles of your choice (horseradish pickles, for instance, pair nicely with the drink's spicy elements) and trimming the ends to create flat bases. Cut the pickles in half and gently scoop out the insides with a small spoon (a ¼ teaspoon works best and is safer than using a paring knife) to create space for your alcoholic mixture. For added richness to balance the acidity, you might consider wrapping each pickle with bacon and baking them in the oven.

Now comes the fun part — seasoning the rims! Old Bay seasoning, chili lime seasoning, and Montreal steak seasoning are all excellent options, but you can also try celery salt, which is often used in traditional Bloody Marys. Simply pour your chosen seasoning into a small bowl, turn the pickles upside down, and swirl them in the mixture.

The final step is to fill your pickle shot glasses with the Bloody Mary mixture. Use your favorite Bloody Mary recipe (even if it just involves blending the ingredients together), then arrange your pickle shot glasses and pour the mixture inside. Garnish with a celery leaf, and voilà, you’re all set to enjoy your shots!
