No this is not a Shitter band than NickleBack.... So... the wifie and I were out running around today getting some shit done for Christmas... when we stopped up to McFlips for a drink.... robin tells me about this shot that some people were doing over at the Tilted Kilt. Its a shot of Jameson with a pickle back....Yes Pickle Juice as a backer... Im not a Jameson or wiskey guy but let me tell you it was one smooth shot. First off you need to like pickles or pickle juice for that matter. I put down two of these within 10mins, and then two more within the next hour. Man -o- man these are so tasty. This a trendy thing from New York.... Bartenders have been drinking the “pickle back” ever since. In fact, a shot of Jameson followed by a shot of pickle juice is colloquially known as “the bartenders’ handshake” — but until recently it wasn’t something you’d serve to customers. “People used to look at me like I was a friggin’ Frankenstein,” says Jason Littrell, a barman at East Village cocktail lounge Death & Company, of his early pickle juice shooting days. “Now I have customers coming in specifically to drink pickle backs.” Pickle juice actually does a remarkably smooth job of cutting the fire off straight Jameson. The two complement each other so well that city watering holes are bracing for a run on pickle juice, says McClure’s co-owner Bob McClure. “It’s taken the bars by surprise,” says McClure. “They are finding themselves at this crossroads between gourmet food and a product that is going to be used for their drinks.” On the horizon, says T.J. Lynch, is the michelada back — a shot of tequila followed by a shot of beer mixed with lemons, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, hot sauce, black peppers and salt. Suddenly straight pickle juice doesn’t sound so bad.
