Best briny bites for National Pickle Day 2024
No longer just a side to a sandwich, pickles and pickle flavors are everywhere. From beverages to snacks, these are some of the best bites for National Pickle Day 2024.
The launch of Casey’s Pickle Wrap Pizza has taken the Midwest by storm. The concept transforms that tailgate food into a bold bite. It has the tangy pickles, smooth cream cheese, and lots of meat. For someone looking for a different pizza slice, this offering is a must try.
While Casey’s wraps up the pickle flavor, V8 and Grillo’s Pickles are shaking up the beverage space. The V8 Grillo’s Dill Pickle Bloody Mary Mix puts the flavor in the glass. While everyone is welcome to add another pickle spear as a garnish, the bold mixer has both cocktail and mocktail fans thirsty for more.
When considering this Pickle Bloody Mary Mix, consider adding another flavor element to the glass. For example, adding a smoky mezcal instead of a typical vodka would be a great idea.
Since a spicy Bloody Mary is always a favorite, consider a pepper forward option. While there are plenty of pepper vodkas or even tequilas on the market, consider a shot of Ancho Reyes to add a different intensity. It is well worth the swap.
For those people who prefer snack food options, consider Sonic’s Pickle Fries. The fried spears are delicious with a classic burger or even eaten on their own. While the Pickle Slushie might be a memory, these pickle fries always deliver the best taste.
Buffalo Wild Wings has fried pickles, too. Paired with a Southwestern ranch, the appetizer is always a favorite.
Also, there is a menu hack that some people may not know. The fried pickles can be coated in the B-Dubs’ Buffalo Dry Rub. The extra kick of spice makes for the best bite. If someone at the table cannot handle the heat, consider pairing it with some fried cheese curds and a cold beer. It makes for a great happy hour option.
Lastly, Jimmy John’s is going all in on the pickle celebration. While everyone knows the restaurant brand’s pickles are the best, the food company wants people to show their briny devotion every day of the year.
Available online, the Jimmy John’s is selling both We’re Kind of a Big Dill Sweatsuit and Corduroy Pickle Flatbill. Check on store.jimmyjohns.com/ for more information.
It is time to get briny. How are you celebrating National Pickle Day?
