Bon appétit!
I recently talked about Ole Smoky moonshine and have also been talking a lot about pickles and products that have alcohol in them that you might at first think shouldn’t but are often actually all the better for it.
Put that all together (along with a TON of Tennessee flavor), and you get Ole Smoky moonshine pickles!
Combining New York deli pickle flavor with Ole Smoky’s signature ’shine, these firm and crunchy alcohol delivery systems are perfect for Bloody Marys and bloody well great on their own. And while the famous Pickle Dickel (a shot of George Dickel Whisky with a back of pickle brine) may be an acquired taste, it is one that I recommend you acquire!
If pickles are a bit dilly for you, Ole Smoky also offers moonshine-washed cherries and peaches and will soon be adding pineapple to their shine-soaked selection. They also have a bunch of fruit-forward flavors that include canned blackberry lemonade, bottled strawberry lemonade whisky, and Mason jarred sour watermelon and apple. Once you try the pickles, however, you are sure to be puckering up for more!
If you are stil a bit wary to explore the historic ‘shine, go to olesmoky.com to see all the flavors (including the bright and flashy white lightnin’, the all-American apple pie, and the butter pecan and mountain java, both of which can be as good for breakfast as they are to unwind at the end of the day) and also to check out recipes that will help ease you into the tub.
No matter which you choose, however, be sure to ‘shine responsibly.
