#1.Van Holten’s – Real Pickle Brine
If you are looking for the best pickle brine, we have to give the title to Van Holten’s. This is a pickleback mixer, meaning it is meant to be either mixed with alcoholic drinks or used as a stand-alone chaser after a shot. It is probably the best chaser we have tried and completely makes any shot go down smoother.

#1.Van Holten’s – Real Pickle Brine
When it comes to the best pickle brine, Van Holten’s makes a pretty mean mix. This is mostly a drink mixer but can be used for pretty much anything. The reason we put Van Holten’s at the top spot is because it simply tastes the best in our opinion. It uses real pickle brine and a whole bunch of other stuff that we don’t know about.
The great thing about the pickleback is that it can be used as a chaser stand-alone when you are shooting any type of hard liquor. So with this pickle brine, you get a pretty intense flavor, but it is definitely not overpowering. Also, no pickle seeds or extra fluffy are in this mixer.

#2.Shmakee Hot and Spicy Pickle Brine
The Shmakee Hot and Spicy Pickle Brine is the best pickle brine for those who want a handcrafted brine from a mom-and-pop shop. This pickle brine is basically brewed with 100% raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar and a bunch of love. It is brewed over time with all-natural ingredients.
We find the pickle brine has a full flavor profile. It has a nice blend of sour and spiciness with a hint of sweetness at the end. This is truly a homemade brine and a real gourmet experience. Use it as a mixer or as a pickleback.

The Pacific Pickle Works Pickle Brine is great if you want an all-natural product that tastes great. This pickle brine has no refined sugars as well as no artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors. It is as pure as it gets and made with real pickle juice.
This pickle brine is bottled in Santa Barbara, California, and is a gourmet brand that produces only a handful of quality pickle brine. In terms of taste, it is a bit on the sweeter side of pickle brine, so if you like it that way, this is the perfect brine for you.

The Best Maid Dill Juice is a gallon of real pickle juice direct from the source. It is a great low-calorie and high-electrolyte drink that can even be had stand-alone. You can use this pickle juice and brine for everything from cooking, and seasoning, to cocktails and mixers.
Overall, we would say that this pickle juice is very smooth and goes down well. It is not overly sour, bitter, or spicy and has a nice and pleasant aftertaste. Also, it has a lighter taste than most pickle brines. For those looking to buy pickle brine in a gallon jug that can be used for multiple purposes, this is definitely the way to go.
