I like my dirty martinis Christina Aguilera dirty—as in filthy. My secret? Filthy Olive Brine Mix. It’s the best, hands down.
I also skip the vermouth because, well, I just don’t love it. But if you’re a vermouth fan, just give your martini glass a light spritz before you get started.
What you’ll need:2 oz. Filthy Olive Brine (trust me, it’s worth it)
2 oz. vodka (I go with Ketel One, but you do you)
3 blue cheese-stuffed olives (for that perfect salty bite)
How to Make It:
1. Shake it up. Add the vodka and olive brine to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake it 20 times with a smile—because a good martini should be icy cold.
2. Strain like a pro. Pour it into a FROZEN martini glass. Yes, frozen—prep those glasses ahead of time. It makes all the difference.
3. Garnish and sip. Drop in those three glorious blue cheese-stuffed olives. Take a moment. Appreciate your masterpiece.
4. Enjoy. Because this is filthy perfection.
