Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ounces pickle juice
  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice (natural)
  • 24 thin slices fresh jalapeño (adjust for heat preference)
  • Cold sparkling water to top
  • Handful of ice cubes
  • A few drops vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Optional Garnishes and Additions

  • Smoked turkey bacon bits for garnish
  • Lime wedge or jalapeño slice for garnish
  • Smoked turkey slices for rimming the glass

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and thinly slice fresh jalapeño into rings, retaining seeds for more heat or removing them for milder spice. Juice fresh limes to obtain 1 ounce of bright citrus juice.
  2. Mix the Base: In a tall glass, combine 3 ounces of pickle juice with 1 ounce of fresh lime juice (natural). Add a few drops of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and stir gently to blend the flavors.
  3. Add the Heat and Chill: Add the sliced jalapeños into the glass along with a handful of ice cubes. Top with cold sparkling water to create a refreshing fizz that balances spiciness.
  4. Garnish and Final Touch: Sprinkle smoked turkey bacon bits on top for crunchy smoky flavor or rim the glass with smoked turkey slices. Finish by garnishing with a lime wedge or a jalapeño slice for an attractive presentation.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice and real jalapeños for best flavor and authenticity.
  • Adjust jalapeño quantity and seed content to control spice level.
  • Keep all ingredients and glasses chilled for maximum refreshment.
  • Select high-quality sparkling water with natural minerals for improved fizz and mouthfeel.
  • Smoked turkey bacon bits add texture and smoke but can be omitted for a lighter version.
