It’s World Cocktail Day! And we’re back with Store Supervisor Elysia for a fun and fresh take on classic bar snacks… Swapping a sweet spritz for a tangy take on a classic whiskey sour, Team Tatty’s resident mixologist is whipping up a Pickleback Cocktail inspired by a savoury shot. Not yet au fait with our new favourite tipple? Allow us to fill you in: a pickleback is a shot of bourbon or whiskey, followed by a shot of brine. So tell us, Elysia - what’s the big dill?
