Notes
Tips for Making a Dirty Martini
- Make sure your glass is chilled and your martini is ice cold! This is definitely a drink where temperature affects the taste, so go the extra mile to chill the glass to keep it cold.
- For extra olive flavor, you can muddle olives into the drink before straining, or add extra brine for a heavier olive taste.
- To make the perfect dirty martini for you, play around with the ratios of gin or vodka and vermouth until you find the sweet spot for your taste level.
