Dill Pickle Recipe

Prepare glass

Select a rocks glass (10–12 oz). Run the lime wedge around the outer rim of the glass to moisten it.

On a small plate, mix Tajín and coarse salt (if using). Press the moistened rim of the glass into the Tajín mixture to coat evenly. Set glass aside.

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.

Add 2 oz Patron Silver, 1 oz pickle juice, 1 oz house margarita mix, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice to the shaker.

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and well-chilled (this both chills and slightly dilutes the drink for balance).

Fill the rimmed rocks glass with fresh ice (large cubes or a single large rock preferred).

Strain the shaken cocktail into the prepared glass over the fresh ice using a fine or hawthorne strainer to keep out small ice shards.

Garnish with a dill pickle spear by resting it on the rim or standing it in the glass.

Serve immediately with a straw or cocktail pick. Optional: offer extra pickle juice on the side for an additional 'pickleback' or to top up the drink to taste.
