Directions

1. Add all ingredients to a blender: ½ cup dill pickle juice, 2 large dill pickle spears (use a clean brand like Grillo’s with no artificial dyes), ⅓ cup coconut water, 1 cup cold filtered water, 2–3 tablespoons lemon or lime juice, a pinch of salt (optional—pickle juice already has plenty), 1–2 fresh dill sprigs, optional 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup if you’d like it sweeter, and optional a few drops of apple cider vinegar for extra tang.
2. Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until completely smooth and the mixture is a **pale, opaque greenish-white** color with visible flecks of fresh dill throughout.
3. Strain over ice for a smoother finish, or serve as-is for a more rustic texture with dill flecks.
4. Garnish with a fresh dill pickle spear and a sprig of fresh dill.
5. Enjoy immediately—it’s surprisingly delicious!
