Dirty, Dirty Martini

AllisonAllison Merrill

From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution entitled: Mixing the PERFECT COCKTAIL

ingredients

  • Splash white vermouth
  • 1/2 oz olive juice
  • 2 oz gin

directions

  • 1

    Here are the tricks of the trade:

  • 2

    Swirl vermouth inside shaker and pour out excess. Fill shaker with crushed ice, then add olive juice and gin. Stir very well, but do not shake Strain into a glass and garnish with the biggest olives you can find.

  • 3

    More scoop: Stir the drink 21 times (that’s the classic bartender’s number) by rubbing the stirer between your palms. Shaking this drink will dilute the flavor.

  • 4

    And more: Use Bombay Sapphire gin. It has the best balance of botanicals--not too much juniper. A dirty martini is all about the gin.
