The Year Of The Pickle: You Can Now Drink Your Favourite Flavour In A Sparkling Drink

The useful part

What was once something you interacted with when it was sandwiched between your patty and bun is now everywhere. From big snack pickles, to picklebacks, the past decade has certainly been the time for pickles to shine. Earlier this year, I had a limited-edition pickle matcha, which blended matcha with lemonade and pickle brine, at Bird & Blend.

How it works

• Almost certainly not for the pickle protester, these drinks taste (shockingly) as though they've been infused with citrusy brine.
• Three Cents' has a slightly more cucumber, vegetal taste to it, and comes in the brand's classic glass bottle.
• If you do have a particular penchant for pickles, like me, these drinks are refreshing and quench that need to chomp down an entire jar of the things as a late-night 'snack'.
• Should you be even slightly opposed to a pickle, though, you'll find yourself making a face like you've eaten a sour candy at even the first sip – they're that precise.

Details worth keeping

Now, pickles are dominating the soft drink market, too. Now, pickle sodas seem to be popping up left, right and centre.
