Ingredients

1⁄2 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup white wine vinegar
4 t sugar

Cook's note: Once you’ve finished all your pickles, the juice can live on in a couple of tasty ways. Exhibit A: the pickleback – an American invention in which a shot of whisky is followed by a shot of pickle juice. Update the trend by adding a shot of pickle juice to your favourite Bloody Mary recipe. It’s also a great meat tenderiser and, combined with extra virgin olive oil, makes a delicious dressing.
