Description
A timeless cocktail, the Perfect Dirty Martini strikes the perfect balance between dry vermouth, gin or vodka, and a splash of olive brine for a salty, savory twist. It’s a classic choice for martini enthusiasts.
Ingredients
2 1/2 ounces gin or vodka
1/2 ounce dry vermouth
1/2 ounce olive brine (adjust to taste)
Ice cubes
2–3 green olives (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
2. Pour in gin or vodka, dry vermouth, and olive brine.
3. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.
4. Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass.
5. Garnish with green olives on a cocktail pick.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For a stronger olive flavor, add an extra 1/4 ounce of olive brine.
Use premium-quality gin or vodka for the best taste.
Chill the martini glass in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before serving for an extra-cold drink.
If you prefer a stirred martini, mix the ingredients in a mixing glass instead of shaking them.
