Is The Original Pickle Shot available in Canada?
Answer:
We love Canada, but unfortunately, we’re not yet available there. Please keep checking back!
I noticed that the color of the liquid has faded some in the bottle. Why is that?
Answer:
Damn those natural ingredients! Because we use real pickle brine and natural flavors, if your bottle is exposed to direct sunlight or strong UV lights, in some cases that can lighten the color of the liquid in the bottle. But don’t worry, that won’t impact the taste at all! Best if you can keep the bottle stored at room temperature or chilled, away from direct light.
Should I put The Original Pickle Shot in the freezer?
Answer:
No, we don’t advise that. Because The Original Pickle Shot is a low-proof spirit, it may freeze if you place it in the freezer. Better to chill it in a shaker with ice, or store in the fridge (but hide it behind some leftovers so that your friends don’t drink it all.)
