Dirty Martini

What separates a dirty martini from a regular one? Olive brine. The more you add, the dirtier it gets. Our recipe uses 1/5 oz of olive brine, but feel free to get as filthy as you want. There are some really filthy martinis out there.

There’s a real interest in savory cocktails at the moment. Truly, there’s something timeless about a dirty martini, but there are many savory briny, spicy cocktails. The savory cocktails create a salty, earthy taste that can pair wit a meal rather than overpowering it, unlike their sweeter counterparts. They’re also often lower-calorie. For a sweeter take on the martini, try our Chocolate Espresso Martini.
