Anti-Martini Glass, Dirty Martini

Ingredients

• 2 ½ ounces gin

• ½ ounce dry vermouth

• ½ ounce olive brine (from your lemon-stuffed olives)

• Ice

• Lemon-stuffed olives (for garnish)

Directions

1. Place your martini glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the drink.

2. In a cocktail shaker, add ice cubes. Pour in the gin, dry vermouth, and olive brine.

3. Shake or stir gently for about 15-30 seconds, depending on your preference for chill and texture. Stirring will result in a smoother drink, while shaking will create a frothier finish.

4. Remove the martini glass from the freezer or discard the ice water. Strain the mixture into the glass using a cocktail strainer if desired.

5. Thread one or two lemon-stuffed olives onto a cocktail pick and place it in the glass.
