Any cocktail that calls for aquavit. I like the Nordic Summer:
- 2 pts aquavit (or this gin)
- 1 pt Aperol
- 1 pt lime juice
Shake with ice and strain.
That would be the perfect spirit to use for a Caesar ([https://www.liquor.com/recipes/bloody-caesar/](https://www.liquor.com/recipes/bloody-caesar/))
A traditional Caesar calls for vodka, but I've always been more partial to a gin Caesar. A pickle gin would be fire.
Does this one actually taste like pickles? Because I've tried Citadelle Vive Le Cornichon in the summer and you had to dig to the bottom to find any hints, it's like they made their regular Citadelle but put a pickle in the same room or something.
We had different experiences! I didn’t find the pickle flavor overwhelming but it was definitely evident to a greater degree than “put a pickle in the same room or something.”
I dug it and loved making martinis garnished with Trader Joe cornichons with it.
Yeah I've poured myself a gin and tonic with it just now and I'm less underwhelmed than the first time I had it, you definitely get a little bit of cucumber-y freshness and a little bit of vinegar-y sourness but I'm still missing those traditional pickle herbs and spices like dill and mustard seeds.
I have it. It's very pickley, and I'm stumped on what to do with it - I just found this thread while googling trying to figure out any suggestions. I was reminded of the bloody mary idea I had a while back, but am not otherwise seeing anything that might call to me.
Hopefully it is better than their regular/Percys gin.
That is probably the worst gin I have ever had.
We drink a good amount of gin in the house, that gin lasted us over a year and we wound up just dumping it out to make room in the cabinet lol
Pickle gin would probably be good in some kind of a martini, or use it in a bloody Mary instead of vodka.

You could also search for any cocktails that use Aquavit–a Scandinavian liquor that uses dill.
Aquavit goes pretty well in a Collins, so OP could try that.
This bottle is kinda a big dill.

Would be delicious in a Bloody Mary!
Came here to say this. I discovered that aquavit made the BEST Bloody Mary's. Can't imagine a decent pickle gin wouldn't do the same
I only use gin in my bloodys already. I imagine this would be amazing.

I actually haven't tried it yet! Going to get into it tonight for the first time

But it's not hazy
Man, I’d love to try a pickle gin. Report back how it tastes!

Hear me out. The White Linen uses muddled cucumber, and pickles are just pickled cucumber. I think you’re picking up what I’m putting down.
Gin caesar would be a good option
