"Pickles are a fun pairing with gin, specifically because many common pickling spices also make up the popular botanicals found in gin. For example, coriander seed, bay leaf, chili, clove, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, black pepper, and more are all regularly found in both pickles and gin."
"Pairing gin with a charcuterie board that contains pickled components along with some fresh bread can create a more interesting option that enhances the drinking experience."
