Drink Label Challenge

My Canadian friends introduced me to Picklebacks. Lifechanging. And deeeelicious! Try it for yourself!

"A pickleback is a type of shot wherein a shot of whiskey is chased by a shot of pickle brine. The pickle brine works to neutralize both the taste of the whiskey and the burn of the alcohol."
