A pickleback

A pickleback is a type of shot wherein a shot of liquor is chased by a shot of pickle brine; the term "pickleback" may also refer only to the shot of pickle brine itself. Alternatively, the shot can be chased by a bite of a pickle (generally, a whole dill pickle). The pickle brine works to neutralize both the taste of the liquor and the burn of the alcohol.[1]

The Pickleback was created Sunday March 12, 2006 at Bushwick Country Club in Brooklyn NY by the bartender Reggie.
