The Original, With Heat
When The Original Pickle Shot launched in 2018, it created the pickle shot category: not a pickleback, not a chaser, but a ready-to-pour vodka built pickle-first. The Spicy takes that same five-times-distilled corn vodka and proprietary brine and turns up the heat, landing somewhere between a deli spear and a hot pickle chip. Prefer it classic?

Tasting Notes
Dill and garlic brine up front, cucumber-fresh in the middle, and a slow-building chili warmth that keeps the finish snappy instead of sweet. At an intentionally low 15% ABV, the pickle flavor stays in charge — big, bold and unmistakably pickle.
How to Enjoy
Chilled straight from the freezer as a shot is the house pour. It also fires up a Bloody Mary, adds brine and heat to a dirty martini, and stands in anywhere a spicy pickleback would. Find more ways to pour in our vodka collection.
