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.

PREPARATION:

  1. Pour the gin and dry vermouth into a mixing glass.
  2. Slowly add the olive brine.
  3. Stir.
  4. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
  5. Garnish with the olive.
