Dirty Martini

June 19th is National Martini Day. With so many new ways to make a Martini, sometimes it’s nice to go back to an old classic like the Dirty Martini.

Ingredients
2 1/2 ounces vodka (best with a premium vodka, such as Grey Goose, Belvedere, or Chopin)
1/2 ounce dry vermouth (Boissiere, Lionello Stock, or Noilly Pratt are the best choices)
5 teaspoons olive brine

Directions
In a cocktail shaker, mix ingredients together over a generous amount of ice. Shake. And then shake some more. Pour mixture into a chilled martini glass, garnish with a few olives and sip away!
