Instructions
Step 1
Start by pouring some chili-lime seasoning onto a small plate. Take a lime wedge and rub it around the rim of a pint-sized jar, then dip the edge into the seasoning to coat it. Fill the jar with about a cup of ice and set it aside for now.
Step 2
Next, grab a cocktail shaker and add the remaining ice, Bloody Mary mix, pickle juice, vodka, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Squeeze in a wedge of lime and a wedge of lemon for some extra zing.
Step 3
Roughly chop a sprig of fresh dill and toss it into the shaker. Put the lid on and give everything a good shake for about 10 seconds to blend all those flavors together.
Step 4
Finally, strain the cocktail into your prepared jar. Garnish with a pickle spear and the leftover dill, lime, and lemon wedges for a fresh, tasty finish. Enjoy!
