🔥 SMOKERS FIRED UP? We’ve got a new recipe for you 🔥

Did you know vinegar sprays are one of the secrets many pitmasters use during long cooks?

We just dropped our Tickled Pickler Smoked Meat Spritz Spray Recipe — a simple recipe using live vinegar that helps add flavor, balance rich meats, and create bark worth showing off 😎

🥩 Great for brisket
🍖 Amazing on ribs
🐖 Perfect for pork shoulder
🔥 Works with whatever meat obsession currently has control of your weekend

The recipe is simple:

✅ Live vinegar
✅ Big flavor
✅ Smoke + bark goodness
✅ Questionable levels of opening the smoker just to admire your meat

Whether you’re smoking low-and-slow or experimenting with something new, this one deserves a spot next to your grill.

Who else immediately starts planning a cookout after seeing smoked meat? 👇

🧅✨ MIGNONETTE IS BACK… BRIEFLY. ✨🧅

While making a brand new batch of our beloved Mignonette Live Vinegar, we discovered something unexpected… we had more of the previous batch than we needed to seed the new one. (Every new batch needs some of the old batch to keep the magic going 😉)

That means — for a limited time and while supplies last — small bottles of Mignonette are back and just in time for spring salads and BBQs!

⚠️ Large bottles are still sold out.
⚠️ Quantities are extremely limited.
⏳ The newest batch currently fermenting won’t be ready for another 3–4 months.

If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on this savory shallot-packed favorite… now’s your chance before it disappears again.

🧅 Small batch.
🍷 Slow crafted.
⏰ Limited release.

Order online at https://www.thetickledpickler.com/product-page/mignonette-vinegar
and if you're local choose self-fullfillment and we will contact you to arrange pick-up/drop-off.

The squash bugs and roly-polys have officially launched their hostile takeover of the garden… but we’re fighting back. 🪲⚔️🌱

First target: the roly-polys. Turns out they absolutely cannot resist beer 🍺. We buried cups into the garden and filled them up — and well… the picture pretty much tells the rest of the story 😅

Next up: squash bugs. Reinforcements have arrived. We placed praying mantis egg cases (yes, those weird cocoon-looking things 😆) throughout the gardens. One in each bed.

Soon those little garden assassins will hatch and hopefully begin their mission of feasting on those pesky squash bugs. 🥬🦗

The bugs may have started this war…

…but we’re bringing in mercenaries. 😈🌿

🧊🌱 What if we told you that your freezer might help fight weeds?

No… seriously.

We took one of vinegar’s oldest household uses and asked:

What happens if you freeze it first?

Turns out, vinegar ice cubes may give you a more targeted way to tackle unwanted weeds without spraying everything nearby 😳

✅ Less overspray
✅ More precise application
✅ Weirdly satisfying

There’s a catch though… this trick works best when you do it correctly (and yes, you can accidentally kill things you didn’t mean to 😅)

We tested the idea, dug into the science, and wrote a full breakdown.

🧊 Freeze. Place. Melt. Repeat.
