No Cukes Given Presents Sweet But Psycho DIY Pickle Brine

No Cukes Given Sweet but Psycho DIY Pickle Brine
Sweet. Spicy. Slightly Unhinged.
For those who like a little heat with their sweet, Sweet but Psycho combines our fiery Dante’s Live Vinegar with warm spices and red pepper flakes to create bold, flavorful refrigerator pickles right in your own kitchen. Just add vegetables and water, then let the magic happen.
Flavor Profile
Sweetness hits first, followed by warming spices, subtle clove notes, and a satisfying kick of heat from red pepper flakes and Dante’s Live Vinegar. The result is a perfectly balanced sweet-and-spicy pickle brine that keeps you reaching for one more bite.
What Makes It Special
Unlike ordinary pickle mixes, Sweet but Psycho is crafted with Dante’s Live Vinegar and a carefully balanced blend of sugars, spices, and peppers. Each jar is designed to make pickling simple while delivering the bold, handcrafted flavor The Tickled Pickler is known for. Best of all, each jar can be used for two full rounds of pickling. Fun fact: VP Chris famously hates pickles—a fact that inspired the creation of The Tickled Pickler in the first place. After years of searching for a pickle he’d actually enjoy, Sweet but Psycho became one of the very few that earned his approval. When you’re finished pickling, the brine still has plenty of life left in it—perfect for marinades, cocktails, dressings, and vinegar shots.

The Tickled Pickler Difference
The Tickled Pickler was born from a simple challenge: our VP Chris hated pickles. Determined to create a pickle worth eating, we started experimenting with better brines, better vinegar, and better flavor. The result became far more than just a pickle—it became a passion for handcrafted fermentation. Our DIY pickle brines continue that tradition, making it easy for anyone to transform fresh vegetables or hard-boiled eggs into crisp, flavorful refrigerator pickles with minimal effort and maximum flavor. And when the pickles are gone, the flavorful brine keeps working hard in marinades, cocktails, dressings, and more.
