DIRTY MARTINI -
2 1/2 ounces gin
1/2 ounce dry vermouth
1/4-1/2 ounce olive juice (to taste)
Olive for garnish
The Dirty Martini is a classic cocktail that is a simple and popular variation of the original Gin Martini. The dirty part comes from the use of olive juice, which is really nice with a quality gin and vermouth.
