pickle juice

Salty green liquid

Pickle juice is the brine left in a jar after the pickles are eaten—a salty, vinegary liquid.

Some drink it straight to relieve muscle cramps or hangovers, or use it in recipes: She added a splash of pickle juice to the potato salad.

It has gained minor cult status as a folk remedy and cocktail ingredient.
