A dill-pickled gherkin cucumber..
Garnished with excellent Dijon-style mustard, horseradish, cornichons, sprinkled with diced gelee, it was close to perfection as one is likely to get on a dinner plate.
Move over, dirty martini. The pickletini—with our clever Southern spin—is a tangier, more savory, arguably tastier cocktail. We love our pickled okra riff, but if okra isn't your thing, you can simply sub dill pickles (or cornichons). Dry vermouth adds a hint of herbal backbone, but you can omit it if you don't have it on hand. Despite 007's classic order, a traditional martini should be stirred, not shaken, so that it has a weightier mouthfeel (shaking aerates it) and is a bit less diluted.
