Odd Couple: Peculiar Pickle Pairings

Open up your mind to these wild pickle pairings!

Pickles and Champagne

A nice dry champagne goes surprisingly well with pickled cornichons. If you’re feeling truly adventurous, try putting a few small slice in your glass before pouring so you can enjoy champagne infused pickles at the end of your drink.

Our Picks: Maille Gourmet Mini Gherkins + Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut

Pickles and Ice Cream

You don’t have to pregnant to enjoy the heavenly pairing of sweet, creamy ice cream and a salty pickle crunch. You can’t go wrong with vanilla, but you can even make your own pickle flavored ice cream and cut out the middleman.

Our Picks: Sucker Punch Spicy Garlic Pickles + Haagen-Dazs Salted Caramel

Pickles and Peanut Butter

Spice up your peanut butter sandwiches with some crisp pickle slices! The salty pickle juices truly enhance the nutty taste of peanut butter without overpowering it.

Our Picks: Colorado Liquor Pickles (Cider or Whiskey) + HomePlate Honey Peanut Butter

 

Pickles and Melons

The juicy burst of salty sweet goodness that comes from pickles and melons is truly an aphrodisiac. Pickles are great with any type of melon, depending on your sweetness preference.

Our Picks: The Real Dill Thai Chili Ginger Pickles + Cantaloupe

 

Pickle and Orange Juice

We promise this glorious mixture is better than it sounds! If fresh orange juice seems too far out there, you can always start with sparkling orange drink and work you way up… Don’t knock it until you try it!

Our Picks: Claussen Kosher Pickle Juice + San Pellegrino Aranciata
