Little Hats Pickle Martini

July 5, 2022

“I love pickles. Especially a good deli pickle. During a quick lunch stop at Little Hats Italian Market in Germantown one day, I was delighted to find out that they have some of the best pickles I’ve had. And when I saw a small juniper berry staring back at me from the brine, I had an idea. How about a dirty martini with pickle brine instead of olive? Bada bing, bada boom. It’s funky, but I sure like it.” – Ann Walczak, Associate Editor
