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.

Categories     cocktails

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.
