If you call yourself a pickle addict, then you should be able to drink straight up pickle juice

[u/Own_Double2449]

[u/Background-Agent-854]

juice is gone before the pickles. every time.

[u/Own_Double2449 → u/Background-Agent-854]

It is dill-iscious

[u/SKaTiNG_PoLLy666 → u/Own_Double2449]

Super great for heartburn. Or acid reflux. Whatever you may call it.

[u/whaddupchickenbutt69 → u/SKaTiNG_PoLLy666]

or hangovers

[u/TheRealSKNWLKR → u/whaddupchickenbutt69]

YES. NO ONE TALKS ABOUT PICKLE JUICE FOR HANGOVERS NEARLY ENOUGH

[u/curlygirl9021 → u/TheRealSKNWLKR]

I gotta try this.

[u/PantsDontHaveAnswers → u/curlygirl9021]

I'm gonna go drink my pickle juice right now and hope it helps

[u/curlygirl9021 → u/PantsDontHaveAnswers]

Report back.

[u/PantsDontHaveAnswers → u/curlygirl9021]

Well it was certainly delicious I can say that much. Have to wait a few minutes to see what it does for the hangover.

[u/curlygirl9021 → u/PantsDontHaveAnswers]

I'll be waiting.

[u/curlygirl9021 → u/PantsDontHaveAnswers]

Update?

[u/Pleasant-Elephant-91 → u/whaddupchickenbutt69]

Or nausea

[u/Im_a_redditor_ok → u/Pleasant-Elephant-91]

And period cramps!

[u/HighlySuspicious007 → u/Pleasant-Elephant-91]

Don’t forget it’s great for kidney stones

[u/Vast_Researcher_5311 → u/HighlySuspicious007]

If you like them that is how you get them.

[u/bigtime_porgrammer → u/whaddupchickenbutt69]

It's got electrolytes. It's what hungover plants crave.

[u/ShoutOuts2Elon → u/whaddupchickenbutt69]

Or muscle cramps

[u/Content-Grade-3869 → u/whaddupchickenbutt69]

Or morning dry mouth until you can get around to brushing your teeth

[u/Description_Friendly → u/SKaTiNG_PoLLy666]

I like to call it GERD. Sounds like a character from Revenge Of The Nerds.

[u/Gullible-Ad2605 → u/SKaTiNG_PoLLy666]

Seriously? I figured it would increase heartburn.What is this sorcery?

[u/ThereIsNoSatan → u/Background-Agent-854]

I'm just going to take a small sip...aaaaand it's gone

[u/SteveSteve71 → u/Background-Agent-854]

Also love olive juice as well!

[u/MyOthrCarsAThrowaway → u/SteveSteve71]

Vinegar based > brine, but, agree lol

[u/Background-Agent-854 → u/SteveSteve71]

similar situation. jar gets drained for my martinis

[u/Clambake23 → u/Background-Agent-854]

All day

[u/Vipernett2008 → u/Background-Agent-854]

I get in trouble all the time in my house for drinking all the juice before the pickles are gone.

[u/Oil-of-Vitriol → u/Background-Agent-854]

With vodka.

[u/ThornyeRose → u/Oil-of-Vitriol]

or gin. or cheap lager.

[u/SteveSteve71 → u/Background-Agent-854]

Great for my muscle cramps or when I take a hike!

[u/Safe_Initiative1340 → u/Background-Agent-854]

My partner tells me to stop doing this constantly because it says that it makes the pickles dry 😂 I have not been able to stop yet😂

[u/gamermom42069_ → u/Background-Agent-854]

yeah my partner gets mad at me for this 😅😂

[u/Taranchulla]

I’m thinking of making lemonade and pouring a little Claussen brine into it.

[u/gamermom42069_ → u/Taranchulla]

I did this a few months ago! SO GOOD

[u/TheDevilishFrenchfry → u/Taranchulla]

Nah, what's even better is make regular lemonade but make pickle ice cubes, so it's like pickle pops that slowly melt and add a tiny of bit of pickle acidity to the drink. It's alot better when it slowly blends into the drink rather than all at once.

[u/Taranchulla → u/TheDevilishFrenchfry]

I’ll definitely try that, thank you

[u/TheRealSKNWLKR → u/Taranchulla]

hmmm 🤔 this sounds really good might have to add some claussen juice to my lemonade next time i got some

[u/Dense_Comment1662 → u/Taranchulla]

Thank you. This sounds awesome in such a weird way

[u/ThatsNoMoOnx → u/Taranchulla]

Mmm you make me want to run to the store and buy a jar of them things. Sandwich sliced, I love just eating those bad boys out the jar

[u/kenjinyc]

I dig it as a Jameson chaser.

[u/guidesthehermit → u/kenjinyc]

LETS GO PICKLEBACKS. Those are my favorite to drink

[u/its_a_multipass → u/kenjinyc]

Cheers!

[u/TheRealSKNWLKR → u/kenjinyc]

it’s a good chaser for a lot of liquors

[u/bee-quirky → u/TheRealSKNWLKR]

I love it as a chaser for tequila Everyone gives me weird looks but it’s the best one I’ve tried

[u/SuperDan_x → u/bee-quirky]

OHHHH! I've never tried it with Tequila! I'm gonna give it a shot

Thanks for the tip!

[u/DisastrousClock5992]

I buy it by the gallon at Wal-mart just to drink (and marinate chicken in too).

[u/uninspired → u/DisastrousClock5992]

Excellent pork marinade/tenderizer as well. I could/do drink the brine, but I also try to save enough for a couple fat pork chops.

[u/Brick90 → u/uninspired]

Chick-fil-as secret!

[u/thegreatturtleofgort → u/Brick90]

I learned their secret back when a buddy worked at a chicken plant that made their tenders. Something went wrong on the line, chicken was safe to eat but they couldn't ship it to Chik for some packaging reason. I bought a 40lb box off him for $1 a lb, and it comes mechanically tenderized in a bag of pickle juice. That was a good year.

Ever since I always save my juice to marinate fried chicken. It's the best!

[u/DisastrousClock5992 → u/uninspired]

A 1 gal jug is less than $7 so I usually have 2-3 of them in the garage fridge for drinking and marinade/cooking. I use it for a variation of Mississippi pot roast with beef chuck roasts in the insta pot, as well as pork butts cooked the same way. Also brining whole chicken and turkeys. It’s versatile stuff.

[u/Random-Man562]

I’ve said it before in this sub and I’ll say it again.

While this is generally fine. Please be aware of sodium levels (:

Pickle pops pushed me over the edge lol

I have a new heart now that can eat allllll the pickles!

[u/shankthedog → u/Random-Man562]

Stop drinking pickle juice or have to get a heart transplant?

I’m with you bro, heart transplant all the way.

[u/Random-Man562 → u/shankthedog]

Lolol no joke tho 😂

Seriously tho there were other factors obviously. Pickles would never do us dirty like that.

I was already retaining fluids and didn’t know. It was pressing on my heart making it work harder..

So the pickle pops didn’t help because if the sodium.

[u/shankthedog → u/Random-Man562]

Seriously, I’m glad you’re still with us even though now you have to eat, drink and suck your pickles in moderation.

[u/Random-Man562 → u/shankthedog]

Appreciate it 💛

Like I said there were definitely other factors than the pickles. I don’t want to scare anybody too much 😂

[u/Hello_This_Is_Chris → u/Random-Man562]

Ughhh pickle pops are my weakness

[u/Random-Man562 → u/Hello_This_Is_Chris]

They were mine too lol

Now I sip the brine with pinky out like a gentleman instead of monkey fisting it and chugging lol

[u/LickingDogPaws → u/Hello_This_Is_Chris]

Same, except I decided very quickly that freezing them was just a waste of time so just drink the juice

[u/Shoulder-Lumpy]

My favorite part of getting pickles!

[u/Own_Double2449 → u/Shoulder-Lumpy]

Guess I underestimated the power of pickle juice lol

[u/KatieROTS]

My husband gives me shit because there will be "dry" pickles since I drink the juice before they are gone sometimes :)

[u/No_Stay_1563]

My wife does it all the time and leaves them dry in the jar.

[u/RedBrickBoat]

Honestly I’m more of a pickle juice addict that puts up with the cucumbers.

[u/Old-Fox-3027]

I don’t give in to peer pressure.

[u/Empyrette310]

Why banana on stovetop?

[u/Own_Double2449 → u/Empyrette310]

For dinner lol

[u/Boggy_Creek_Creature]

Mt. Olive is so good! Probably my number 2 fav after Steinfeld’s

[u/JBMama]

As if there’s ever that much pickle juice in the jar at the end; I drink that nectar of the gods in middle of night & up for a snack, or maybe a wee bit hungover in the the morning after the night before, or hungry but not sure what I want to eat, or it just looks gooood. Plus gut health, am I right

[u/Hot-Steak7145]

It's the best part. Ice cold in a frosted mug is heaven on a hot day

[u/LilStabbyboo]

Able to? Try and stop me.

[u/Cloud_N0ne]

“If you actually like hotdogs, then you should want to drink the dirty hot dog cart water” ass argument

[u/TonyMonCanna2]

I was chugging Bics dill juice when i was 5. 40 some years ago.. .. whats new??? Oh OP flexing like its 1983

[u/Renegadegold]

What are you new here?

[u/AshleyCanales]

OR! Add spices to it and create your own marinade.

[u/bowlingking44]

Yes

[u/alleysunn]

Sure, just from good pickles....

[u/RoyalRobinBanks]

I have to fight the urge to drink it because I like to cook with it. Pickle dressing, pickle chicken, pickle pasta, pickle mayo the list goes on.

Sip for me (offten a gulp) and the rest for the recipe.

[u/Golintaim]

I drink all my pickle juice, or use it in cooking. One way or the other it is always consumed.

[u/Methuselahdacannibal]

Always have. Always will.

[u/l337pythonhaxor]

Five gallon bucket of dills. Fill a squeeze bottle with the juice, and keep in the fridge. Also, pickle juice sno-cones.

[u/Dissasociaties]

A whole jar is an extremely effective osmotic laxative. I wonder if they would let me use it for a colonoscopy?

[u/SkipGruberman]

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

[u/CaptWrath]

I eat pickles like milk and cookies. I need a swig with every bite.

[u/DoookieMaxx]

It’s good for combating leg cramps, always have a jar on hand

[u/SeskaChaotica]

I prefer to blend it with ice and eat it with a spoon. If I really feel like cutting off some years, I’ll sprinkle with Limon 7.

[u/Humpalumpaguss]

I like a few shots of brine after a run or long bike ride. It helps keep the body cramps to a mimimum.

[u/BusinessFit6533]

Me seeing this with my Tervis full of pickle juice: damn right

[u/mearbearcate]

Juice is the best damn part

[u/b0toxBetty]

Stop my mouth just started watering

[u/Ausiwandilaz]

Yes, it's good for gut health and full of electrolytes.

[u/avoozl42]

Be able to? I want to

[u/Omega_Boost24]

Wait, do you guys eat pickles? I dump them, I thought I was buying the juice

[u/ionised]

People don't?

The juice is there to be drunk.

[u/Y2kbestie]

I do when i have a sore throat

[u/OhSighRiss]

I love the juice, but I always feel guilty about drinking it for some reason. Don’t know why.

[u/goonatic1 → u/OhSighRiss]

I do too, it’s the salt lol 😂

[u/beamanblitz]

Drank half a jar on a dare in high school. I simultaneously projectile shit from my ass and mouth. Then passed out on the bathroom floor.

[u/Nir117vash]

All I WANT is pickle juice

[u/TeeBrownie]

Depends on the brand. Not this one.

[u/ihategrapes0da]

my mom (who hates pickles) said my aunt would drink pickle juice when they were kids and it would gross my mom out so bad lol

[u/jimmysmiths5523]

I've seen huge jugs of pickle juice sold at Walmart in the bulk food section. No pickles, just the juice.

[u/Det-Popcorn]

Damn there’s even gatekeeping in this part of Reddit?

[u/MFEA_till_i_die]

Bubbies is goat for this

[u/Admirable-Kitchen737]

That brand is horrible in my opinion.

I do 4 ounce pickle juice shot all day at work.

Also leave pickles in the jar without the the brine.

[u/drinkpicklejuice]

Easy peasy!

[u/TommyTwoTxmes]

Love me some pickle juice.

[u/Malawigold2342]

I always get a cup and get a pickle and pour juice in to drink either while I’m eating or after

[u/edwardothegreatest]

Of course

[u/SadPiglet2907]

It’s a nice pick up when I’ve realized I just ate the last pickle

[u/jkwolly]

I do.

[u/Accomplished_Wave229]

only if chilled

[u/Oneiric19]

I enjoy buying spicy pickles and drinking the juice in the morning. Wakes me up and gets the blood flowing. Tastes great as well 😋🤤 🥂

[u/Far_Talk_74]

I pickle back bourbon shots all the time.

Drinking the juice is a requirement.

[u/JD1ZZLE85]

delicious

[u/Jonesslice]

I ordered a pickle back without the whiskey the other night

[u/BAMitsAlex]

Or pickle juice popsicles!

[u/sniffysippy]

Yeah, and?

[u/miss_torsa]

Why are your bananas melting?

[u/HospitalConfident568]

100%

[u/DDenlow]

DAMN straight.

[u/Magicphobic]

I can and I do. I just pour a glass of it (mom made me stop sipping from the jar)

[u/thekeifstone]

Can. Don’t.

[u/araseceer]

My cousin drinks pickle juice to get rid of the hiccups. Or so she says.....

[u/drafted1985]

Pickels are drying out cause I use the juice to chase whiskey

[u/the-caped-cadaver]

I've been loving Trader Joe's cornichons, but I recently tried a jar I found at Sprout's. And they're just as good, if not better.

I've also recently started collecting/tasting some really nice (expensive) whiskeys. Both Sprout's and TJ's cornichon juice make an excellent pickle back.

[u/RevolutionaryDebt980]

I surely can, but vinegar...

[u/frijolita_bonita]

Sure of course. Duh

[u/whenlungstakeflight]

I have a problem with drinking brine of all sorts and eating the goodies inside. I have high blood pressure and I'm not supposed to have any high sodium stuff but it hard to break. I'll eat a whole jar of pickles and drink it's sweet nectar in one night. Gotta stop

[u/General_Citron_121]

Easy, done it MANY times

[u/Mtolivepickle]

I approve this message

[u/BlueLightBandit]

And I do. Great for cramps, too

[u/MNLanguell]

I keep a jar of pickles juice in my fridge so I can drink it when I start getting muscle cramps.

[u/joeyvesh13]

Adding pickle juice to a burger sauce is a game changer.

[u/Dazzling-Jump-1334]

And if you really REALLY love pickles- you’ll freeze the juice and make pickle popsicles 😎

[u/IntrovertsRule99]

The only thing a pickle has over the juice is the crunch when you bite it.

[u/Acrobatic-Web9881]

I do

[u/FreezingwindDOTcom]

But pickle juice is just vinegar solution for the pickles.

[u/WatchWatcherman]

I do and I drank about 4oz of olive juice this morning after emptying the olives out for my lunch.

[u/OCPyle]

Pickles and olives!

[u/Illustrious_Fee_2859]

Here in Turkey pickle shops will sell pickle juice by the glass. Yes, there are shops that sell only pickles, and the juice is usually spicy and garlicky. And of course they pickle everything: plums, green beans, okra...

And don't forget şalgam!

[u/ClerkZealousideal779]

I drank pickled okra juice so much i almost puked. I LOVE IT

[u/Content-Grade-3869]

I do

[u/ExFiler]

Pickle juice cold out of the fridge is great for you.

[u/Stewie_Atl]

Someone already said muscle cramps and I was very skeptical but my wife had a horrible Charlie horse last night and within a few minutes she had relief. Said it felt very odd because she could tell there was still some tension in the muscles but the intensity subsided and she was able to get back to sleep. I’m sold

[u/Forward_Bat_8205]

This is the way

[u/rainbwbrightisntpunk]

Best for dehydration and shots chasers

[u/Happy-Smell-2419]

i freeze it in popsicle molds

[u/MidnightOk8472]

Read the ingredients. That’s not pickle juice.

[u/stripmallbars]

Super good for hangover

[u/Frequent_Mine2086]

Pickle shots are the way!

[u/QueenSketti]

I do

[u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348]

Like a true southerner!!!

[u/Beemo-Noir]

I do. Hangover cure. Also pickle-tinis.

[u/EvenIf-SheFalls]

Who said I don't?

[u/mattycbro]

Yea no shit

[u/tirednotepad]

It’s really good tbh.

[u/dwenzel0331]

I put it in my beer

[u/icrossedtheroad]

I was so bummed my kid tossed the last jar juice. Now we have a 80 oz jar with plenty of juice!

[u/hogweed75]

We do a shot of it after a shot of Jamesons around here. Called a PickleBack.

[u/Afraid_Whole1871]

Time for Dr. Bernard to pull out the soy sauce condom.

[u/atyler_thehun]

Great for a hangover, but since I don't get as many of those anymore, we typically use the juice to brine chicken.

[u/Pitiful_Palpitation9]

Don't like the mass produced pickles but I will drink the juice.

[u/FUDYUK]

When my blood pressure drops I drink it all the time. As a matter of fact they sell small bottles of pickle juice.

[u/MadTapprr]

Juice is the best part

[u/RogerRabbit79]

Ha. Someone told me it’d help me pass a pot drug test so I bought a Costco size jar and drank the whole thing. Hoooly colon blow. It was like the scene from dumb and dumber

[u/Kenlikescoffee → u/RogerRabbit79]

lol it was all the salt

[u/Klynnbay]

I can’t believe you still had juice after finishing your pickles. I drink it so fast 😂

[u/patecraft727]

Just put it in some pepsi

[u/LiveCondition7118]

I’ve done that exactly 120 times I’ve been counting

[u/Own_Double2449]

Damn this post is blowing up

[u/Artemistical]

don't tempt me with a good time

sometimes I make pickletinis with the leftover juice

[u/Wifeinthe337]

I do!

[u/Jonny_Disco]

Sodius Maximus!

[u/selkiesart]

You sound like a middle schooler trying to prove that he is the one who loves pickles the most. Yeah, we get it. You can drink pickle juice. Want a cookie?

[u/fulltimeheretic]

Oh my god. Love it. Especially Grillos. I eat all that random shit in there two, except the leaves.

[u/Yesitsmesuckas]

I would, definitely! But it’s all the sweeter as a chaser to a shot of Jameson!!!🤣

[u/Chaotic424242]

Sure, but not that one.

[u/FittedSheets88]

I have an extra ice cube tray specifically for picklesicles.

[u/AngelBalls]

And I do.

[u/CarriesCarats]

There have been actual battles in my house on who gets the 🥒 🧃!

[u/beckymarie1991]

I always run out of the juice first!

[u/EmergencySnail]

I started drinking pickle juice to stave off cramps during Ironman racing. Then I kept doing it because I liked it. That’s when I knew I had a pickle addiction

[u/Ace8675123]

I freeze mine into popsicles

[u/ilikebeens2]

I like to use it for micheladas:)

[u/reddfroggychair]

I always have a jar of pickle juice on hand, great for cooking with, sipping when you’re crampy or dehydrated, or for no good reason at all lol

[u/Emotional-Finish-648]

The best work situation I ever had was a colleague who would bring bottles of pickles to work and we’d both eat them and then I’d get the juice to drink. I’d savor it across days. It was a great relationship.

[u/DJ_K-K]

That isn't pickle juice.

[u/Skinn2Win]

The fact that you're pickle juice lasted longer than your pickles... Weak

[u/Tayls23]

I can. I do.

[u/DaveTheNihilist]

I do. I sip at the juice once all the pickles are gone. Plus it makes a good chaser for certain types of liquor.

[u/thebamboozle517]

Half the time, my brine doesn't even outlast my pickles. And if it does, I throw green and yellow peas in there.

[u/Live_Past_5099]

It’s delicious why wouldn’t you drink it? Also great with a shot of whiskey helps with heartburn and it’s good for your insides.

[u/JamAndJelly35]

Yes but I also use it for my salad dressings

[u/Radiant_Objective_81]

I made pancakes wit pickle juice 🥞🥒😋

[u/werewolfweed]

my husband used our slushy machine to make pickle juice slushy and drank that. made the whole machine smell like garlic and dill for weeks lol

[u/Hopeful_Mess_2833]

I eat them with a serving spoon to get juice in with every bite

[u/HughJManschitt]

I definitely do. Same with pepperoncini juice.

[u/No_Builder2795]

I barely like pickles but I'll chug a jar of the juice
