A pickleback is a type of shot wherein a shot of liquor is chased by a shot of pickle brine; the term "pickleback" may also refer only to the shot of pickle brine itself. Alternatively, the shot can be chased by a bite of a pickle (generally, a whole dill pickle). The pickle brine works to neutralize both the taste of the liquor and the burn of the alcohol. [1]

The drink has also spread to Canada, [4] Shanghai, [5] Belfast and New Zealand. [6]
