One thing about pickle lovers, we’re always looking for new ways to use up that delicious brine when we finish a jar of spears or slices. And while some people love it enough to drink it straight-up, we’re mixing things up a bit to quench our thirst (the pickley way) for the summer. You can try pickle juice lemonade two ways, either using premade lemonade or making it from scratch, we’ve got a recipe for both.
Fresh and tart, this homemade pickle juice lemonade is the upcycled, refreshing drink you never knew you needed.
