What You Need to Make Dill Pickle Lemonade
- Water – The good base to any lemonade
- Lemon Juice– I prefer freshly squeezed but you can use pre-made bottled
- Dill Pickle Juice – Anyone who loves pickles knows their favorite brand
- Sugar – White granulated sugar is best but you can also use a sugar alternative
- Ice
- Lemon Slices – for topping
- Dill Pickles – Optional but adds to the flavor and look
Helpful Tips
- Store in the fridge, in a covered container, for up to 1 week. You can freeze for up to 3 months, but it turns out a bit more diluted when frozen.
- If you like an even stronger pickle juice flavor, simply add another ounce of pickle juice to the mix.
- Mint is another gorgeous garnish that pairs well with lemonade.
- 2 tablespoons of sugar is a great place to start as it makes it to your average sweetness level for lemonade. So, you can add more sugar if you like it sweeter.
- If you use the juice from a jar of pickles, you’ll want to strain it before using it so you don’t have floaties. I just buy the pickle juice from the store so I don’t have to mess with extra steps and it doesn’t leave my pickles dry.
