Xplodies Detonator

Inspired by the explosive, unpredictable spirit of the Xplodies NFT collection, this cocktail captures the thrill of surprise with a punchy burst of flavor and a playful, ‘exploding’ garnish. Served in a classic rocks glass, the Xplodies Detonator combines bold spirits with a briny twist, finished with a dramatic pop as you drop a lime juice "grenade" shot into the glass just before drinking. Ingredients: - 1 oz whiskey - 1 oz vodka - 0.75 oz pickle juice - Ice cubes - 0.75 oz fresh lime juice (served in a separate shot glass) - Optional: chili-salt rim for extra ignition Description: Begin by rimming a rocks glass with chili-salt for an added spark. In the glass, combine whiskey, vodka, pickle juice, and fill with ice. Serve with a separate shot glass of fresh lime juice. Just before drinking, drop the lime juice shot into the cocktail for an explosive mix of flavors—tangy, briny, and invigorating, with a fiery finish. The lime juice hitting the pickle brine and spirits creates a quick effervescent ‘blast’ of aroma and taste, perfect to toast the unpredictable energy of Xplodies. Glass: Rocks glass (double old-fashioned)
