Pickletini
Recipe: Pickletini (Makes 1 liter)
Created by Chef Andrew Zimmern
1 bottle (.750 L) premium vodka (all natural potato vodkas like Wyborowa work best)

8 whole star anise ‘buds’
¼ cup juniper berries
Zest lemons and place zest and split chiles in the bottom of a sterilized 1-liter glass mason jar with a hinged lid. Fill with the vermouth, pickle juice, juniper berries and star anise buds. Place in freezer for 1 week and then serve in chilled martini glasses. Garnish with Baby Dill Pickles*.
