THE IMPROVED DIRTY MARTINI



The Improved Dirty Martini image

"Dirty martini" is a dirty word for many bartenders who find the drink - a martini with a salty slop of olive brine - unimaginative and unappetizing. Naren Young, a New York bartender, decided to create a better version, called Olives 7 Ways, with several bespoke ingredients. That cocktail, served at Saxon & Parole, is fairly complicated to make, so Mr. Young came up with yet another, easier variation for the home bartender.

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 5

375 milliliters dry vermouth, preferably Noilly Prat
1/2 cup chopped Cerignola olives
1 1/2 ounces navy-strength gin, preferably Perry's Tot
A few drops of extra-virgin olive oil
Mixed olives, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine vermouth and chopped olives in a sealed glass container and let sit for 3 days. Shake periodically.
  • Chill a cocktail glass by filling it with ice or putting it in the freezer for about 5 minutes.
  • In a mixing glass filled three-quarters full with ice, pour the gin and 1 1/2 ounces of the infused vermouth. Stir until chilled, about 30 seconds, and strain into the chilled glass. Carefully drip a few drops of olive oil (with an eye-dropper, if possible) onto the drink's surface. Serve with a small dish of mixed olives.

THE DIRTIEST MARTINI

Categories     cocktails

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 ounces basil-infused organic vodka*
1 1/4 ounces olive juice
Splash of vermouth
3 pitted Spanish green queen olives, skewered
1 organic basil leaf

Steps:

  • Shake the liquid ingredients with ice in a shaker. Strain into a chilled martini glass, and garnish with the olive skewer and basil leaf. *To infuse the vodka, place 10 basil leaves in a 750-ml bottle of organic vodka (Rain vodka, distilled in Kentucky from organic corn, is a good choice) for two hours. Be careful not to overinfuse. You want a mild flavor and fragrance, not basil cologne.
