Preheat your smoker to 400°F
Cut each whole dill pickle in half lengthwise, and then trim a small portion from the rounded end of each half so that they can stand upright on a flat surface.
Hollow out the center of each pickle half using a small spoon or knife, creating a cavity that resembles a shot glass. Be sure to leave enough pickle flesh around the edges to maintain structure.
Wrap a half slice of bacon tightly around each prepared pickle half, ensuring that the bacon completely covers the pickle. Trim off any excess bacon and secure the bacon in place by inserting toothpicks through the ends.
Sprinkle Blazing Star Scorpion Rub Seasoning generously over the bacon-wrapped pickles, coating them evenly on all sides.
Place the bacon-wrapped pickles directly on the grill grates. Smoke the pickles at 400°F for 40-45 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked to your desired level of crispiness.
Remove and allow to cool slightly
Fill inside of pickle with 50/50 mix of whiskey and bloody mary mix
Garnish with another sprinkle of Scorpion Seasoning if desired
