Yes, guzzling down pickle brine is socially acceptable now, and there's a reason it's all the rage. Enjoy this light, reviving mocktail (or cocktail!) to restore your electrolytes, surprise your tastebuds, and reduce food waste. If that's not enough to convince you to try it, well... we get it. It sounds weird. But trust us, it's worth trying.
