* MAKE YOUR OWN PICKLE VODKA
Yes, you do see "Dill Pickle Vodka" in the recipe. There are or were several companies that made dill pickle vodkas but they are increasingly hard to find.
These days I make my own by simply infusing a bottle of decent vodka with almost the same ingredients I use to make pickles..I usually use sliced cucumbers, dill seed, garlic, peppercorns, mustard seed, celery seed and let that infuse for at least a week or longer. Taste and shake daily until you reach your preferred level of pickleness, strain well and bottle.

It really ia the perfect vodka to put a little extra zing in this cocktail - after all, the pickle had to be represented in a Kitchen Sink Martini, right?
