Couldn't find any grillos v8 for Thanksgiving, but also just realized v8 is owned by Campbell's so fuck 'em anyway.

The gin was gift somebody gave me a while back. People always raise an eyebrow at the bottle, but it's actually become my favorite.

I don't drink much anymore, but when I do gin is my go to. I feel like there's something unique about the botanical notes in Engine compared to other gins, and it works surprisingly well in a variety of cocktails.

Recipe:

1:1 Gin and Pickle Brine (Preferably Grillos)

Top off with Bloody Mary mixer of your choice. I just grabbed this one from the grocery store, but it made a very tasty drink.

Mix well
Garnish with pickle and black pepper
