John King

John King is an accomplished beverage entrepreneur and hospitality professional who in 2018
co-founded The Original Pickle Shot, now the top-selling pickle brine-infused vodka in America.
Under his leadership, John has grown and expanded the brand (affecJonately known as “TOPS”
among its fans) from a single state operaJon to over 30 states today.
With experience as bartenders, John and his co-founders created The Original Pickle Shot’s
unique recipe using a proprietary pickle brine and 30-proof five-Jmes disJlled Iowa corn vodka.
Available in original and spicy flavors, TOPS isn’t a pickle back or a chaser, it’s a carefully craUed
ready-to-pour vodka with an opaque light green color and delicious dill pickle taste. It’s only 1.5
carbs and under 40 calories per shot, with no sugar or gluten, and no arJficial flavors or colors.
John is a former college athlete and performance coach, with a Bachelor of Science degree from
East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania. Originally from Philadelphia, he now resides in
South Florida
