| Welcome to Killarney's Publick House in Hamilton Township |
HAMILTON -- Peanut butter and jelly. Mac and cheese. Whiskey and brine. One of these combos ain't like the others.
Our boy Edelstein used Facebook to crowdsource drinks he had never tried before, and thanks to a suggestion by April Nicolo he picked the "Pickleback".
It's a shot of Jameson's whiskey chased by a shot of pickle juice, which seems as logical a combination as chocolate cake frosted with guacamole, yet Edelstein agreed to try this strange, exotic concoction of feel-good liquids
"It has some sort of magic balance," April told Jeff at the bar inside festive Killarney's Publick House at 1644 Mercerville-Whitehorse Road during the live broadcast of the event.
April's entourage was at the bar -- Adrianne, Nicole, Lisa and Francine and some dude -- and they partook in the Pickleback party. Then a seasoned barfly by the name of Mr. Knox knocked one shot back followed by the neutralizer.
Here are the photos (not great because of the low-lighting), but they tell the story:

| The moment at hand is approaching ... |
 |
| The staredown. |
 |
| And there goes the pickle juice |
 |
| Only a little dribbling ... the pickle juice ... Jeff tasted. |

And here is the 10-minute debut of "Picklebacking at Killarney's" ...
