Dirty Martini
Servings: 1 cocktail
Calories: 178cal
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker or a mixing glass with a cocktail mixing spoon
Ingredients
- ice to fill the cocktail shaker
- 2 ½ oz dry gin
- ½ oz dry vermouth
- ½ oz olive brine
- olives for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add gin, dry vermouth, and olive brine.
- Gently shake for about a minute and strain into a martini glass.
- Garnish with a cocktail pick of olives.
Notes
- You can substitute the gin with vodka if desired. Be sure you use dry vermouth, which is the white kind (not sweet, which is normally red).
- There’s a long debate on whether or not you should stir or shake a dirty martini. Whether you choose to use a chilled martini glass or to serve it on the rocks - it’s ultimately up to you. Gently shaking it in a cocktail shaker with ice chills the ingredients further, but if you like your martinis warmer then by all means go the route of stirring it in a glass with a long cocktail spoon. Either way will work!
