DIRTY MARTINI RECIPE

Here is everything you need to know about martinis, from how to order a martini out, to what’s in it, and the best dirty martini recipe.

WHAT’S In A DIRTY MARTINI

– 2 1/2 ounces gin or vodka – 1/2 ounce dry vermouth – 1-2 teaspoons olive brine (for a dirty martini) – ice – 2-3 olives

INSTRUCTIONS

Chill your martini glass in the freezer.

1:

Pour the gin or vodka, vermouth, and olive brine into a cocktail shaker with ice.

2:

Strain the martini into the chilled glass and garnish it with olives.

3:

Enjoy right away while cold.

4:

This recipe is for a dirty martini, which I like because of the salty briny flavor and bit of dilution. For a classic martini, omit the olive juice and garnish with olives, a twist of lemon, or a cocktail onion.
