Original Pickle Juice

Our Original Pickle Juice starts with a base of apple cider vinegar, infused for 12 weeks with sliced cucumbers, fennel, turmeric, salt and a touch of sugar (to help with the pickling process). This slow infusion allows the flavours to develop naturally, mellowing the sharpness of the vinegar and creating a beautifully balanced, smooth and savoury juice with a delicious umami depth.

People drink pickle juice for all sorts of reasons, from making a seriously good Dirty Martini to helping relieve muscle cramps.

It all started for us with the Pickleback: a shot of whiskey followed by a shot of pickle juice, which our founder Florence discovered in New York back in 2014. Since then, pickle juice has become a favourite ingredient among bartenders, adding a tangy, salty and savoury depth to cocktails like Dirty Martinis, Margaritas and Bloody Marys. It's equally delicious in non-alcoholic drinks, too. Explore our recipes for a little inspiration.

But pickle juice isn't just for cocktails. Thanks to its salt and vinegar content, it's also become popular among runners, athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Research suggests that pickle juice can also help relieve muscle cramps.

Yes! Our Original Pickle Juice is made with natural ingredients, including apple cider vinegar, cucumbers, fennel and turmeric, with a little salt and sugar.

One of the reasons pickle juice has become so popular among runners and athletes is its potential to help relieve muscle cramps. Research suggests that drinking a small amount of pickle juice may help shorten certain cramps, possibly because its sharp, acidic taste triggers a reflex in the nervous system that helps muscles relax.

Pickle juice also contains sodium, an important electrolyte lost through sweat, which is why it's often associated with exercise and recovery.

And while it's no miracle cure, it's certainly a deliciously savoury addition to your routine. Whether that's a little shot after a run or a splash in your favourite cocktail.

Absolutely! For most people, a little pickle juice can be enjoyed as part of their daily routine. We recommend starting with a 30-60ml shot, whether that's first thing in the morning or whenever you fancy a savoury pick-me-up.

If drinking it straight sounds a little too adventurous, try adding a splash to your favourite juice. We love mixing it with mango or beetroot juice for a deliciously tangy twist.

Just remember, pickle juice contains salt and vinegar, so a little goes a long way!

We think our Pickle Juice is best served chilled, but you can also keep it in your cupboard even once it’s been opened.
