I would like to pay homage to one of the tastiest and classiest of martinis this week: The Dirty Martini.
Possibly my favorite of all the martini’s out there. One of my first experiences wtih this lucious drink was back almost 6 years ago at Blue Martini. As soon as the salty mix touched my lips I was hooked. What made this drink what it is was the garnish of olives. They weren’t your normal Spanish olives. They were stuffed with..wait for it…blue cheese. Indulge yourself..I beg of you.
Classic Vodka Dirttty Martini with Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives
Makes 2 or one reaaaally big one!
Delish.
- 3 oz of Vodka
- 3 oz of olive brine
- 6 olives
- chunk of blue cheese
In a shaker filled with ice, add vodka and olive brine. Shake until mixed and chilled.
Take the 6 olives and remove the pimento. I use a tooth pick to get those suckers out. Once removed, take pieces of blue cheese and stuff the olive. Spear 3 on a tooth pick for each drink.
Pour, garnish and drink up! I promise you’ll want to have your martini’s like this from now on. They are addicting.
