Classic
Dirty Martini
Salty, briny, unbothered
A Martini that's been to the gym and skipped the shower — in the best way. A generous splash of olive brine turns the crisp, dry classic salty, savory, and addictively briny. Made with gin here, but vodka is just as common — that's a Dirty Vodka Martini. Order it 'extra dirty' if you want it to taste like the bottom of the olive jar — some of us do.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 oz Gin
- 1/2 oz Dry Vermouth
- 1/2 oz Olive Brine
Method
Add gin, dry vermouth, and olive brine to a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir for 20-30 seconds until well-chilled. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with two or three olives on a pick.
