INGREDIENTS:
* 20mg THC total cannabis-infused elixir
* 4 oz high-quality dill pickle brine (chilled)
* 2 oz dry vermouth alternative (or white verjus)
* 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
* A splash of cold filtered water (to control saltiness)
* Fresh ice
* Garnish: Two cornichons and a fresh sprig of dill
INSTRUCTIONS:
* Place two martini or coupe glasses in the freezer to chill for at least 5 minutes.
* Fill a cocktail shaker or mixing glass with plenty of fresh ice.
* Pour in the chilled dill pickle brine, dry vermouth alternative, and fresh lemon juice.
* Add the cannabis elixir (20mg total).
* Stir the mixture vigorously with a long bar spoon for 30-45 seconds. Stirring is preferred over shaking to keep the drink crystal clear and silky.
* Taste the mixture; if it is too salty for your preference, add a small splash of cold filtered water and stir again.
* Strain the mixture into your chilled glasses.
* Garnish by skewering a cornichon and placing it in the glass, followed by a small sprig of fresh dill for aroma.
CHEF TIPS:
The Brine Matters: The quality of your pickle brine is the star here. Use brine from refrigerated "snap" pickles for the freshest, most vibrant dill flavor.
The "Dry" Note: If you don't have a vermouth alternative, a splash of alcohol-free bitters or a very dry white grape juice (verjus) provides the necessary acidity.
The Chill: This drink must be served as cold as possible to balance the salt and vinegar.
Serve immediately. Enjoy the Dill Pickle Martini responsibly 🥒🍸
