There’s nothing inappropriate about the dirty martini, despite its suggestive name—it’s just the extra olive flavor that spices up this twist on an old standard.
You Will Need
- 3 oz. gin (or vodka)
- 2 tsp. dry white vermouth
- 1 tsp. olive brine
- 1 to 3 olives
- Ice
- A martini glass
- A mixing glass or cocktail shaker
- A long spoon
- A toothpick
Step 1: Chill glass
Chill the martini glass by filling it with ice and water, and set it aside.
Step 2: Fill with ice
Fill the mixing glass with ice.
Step 3: Add gin, vermouth, & olive brine
Add the gin, vermouth, and olive brine.
Bottled olive juice is sold in varying potencies so you can concoct a drink that’s as light or dirty as you prefer.
Step 4: Stir with spoon
Stir with the spoon for about 15 seconds.
Step 5: Empty glass
Empty the now-chilled martini glass.
Step 6: Strain drink
Strain the drink into the martini glass.
Step 7: Spear olives
Spear 1 to 3 olives with the toothpick.
For an exotic touch, use premium olives stuffed with blue cheese, garlic, or jalapenos.
Step 8: Garnish and serve
Garnish and serve.
Because early olive cultivation took decades, anyone taking up olive farming was expecting a long life.

What a great drink - my favorite! I would recommend two olives though, as the perfect amount :-)

I think SodaStream is a great product. Now I can have the freedom to make my own Seltzer or Soda right from home. If I were you I would go pick one up, this is going to be one of the hot new trends. I got mine at http://www.seltzer-maker.com
