The Dirty Naylor
Sounds like a theoretically pleasing but rarely executed sex position, but is in fact the name of a cocktail at the new Cajun place Les Bons Temps made with vodka + pickle juice.
As a childhood pickle-juice drinker and straight-up mustard eater who has cultivated a serious affection for vodka, I was extremely excited. Comes up, shaken and garnished with a pickle. Does this really go on in New Orleans?
Verdict: Excellent, but should be drank cold (don’t talk too much once it gets served–the cocktails are actually borderline bird baths, a welcome trend after so many frustrating triangular-thimble sized cocktails).
Googling turns up a disgusting sports drink based on pickle juice and some geocities freak that advocated this:
“Swish tomato in your mouth, grab tequila and pickle juice. First shoot the tequila then right away shoot the pickle juice. Tastes like a burger!”
Anyone with extensive cocktailing in New Orleans out there? Please explain the History of the Pickletini. I have yet to conduct research of any kind in Louisiana.
Also, a pickle image search turned up some kind of NSFW pickle porn.



Pickle juice sports drinks have precedent. In 2000, the Eagles beat the Cowboys 41-14 in 109-degree heat; players drank pickle juice on the sideline to keep hydrated. Maybe a good way to win a summer drinking competition would be to drink pickletinis.
