The Dirty Martini is a classic that is a simple and popular variation of the original Martini It is called dirty because of the olive brine which adds a more olive flavoring than the straight Martini with olives soaking in it. This cocktail can be easily ruined if too much olive brine is used, so go easy on it and you will have one of the best cocktails ever.

Dirty Martini, Member Robinrfox

Great advice given by everyone who has experience to offer. I am learning so much about martini's. I had no idea that there is an actual olive juice for the dirty martini. Than you for the information.
