Down and Dirty Dry Martini Instructions

The Down and Dirty Dry Martini is a classic cocktail that is perfect for those who prefer their drinks a bit on the strong side. This cocktail is made with gin and dry vermouth, and it is typically garnished with a green olive or lemon twist. It originated in the early 20th century and has been a popular choice among cocktail enthusiasts ever since.

To make a Down and Dirty Dry Martini, gather your ingredients and a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice and pour in 2 1/2 ounces of gin and 1/2 ounce of dry vermouth. Shake the mixture well to ensure that the flavors are fully combined. Next, strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass. If you prefer your martini "dirty," add a splash of olive brine to the shaker before shaking. This will give the drink a slightly salty and savory taste. Finally, garnish your martini with a green olive or a twist of lemon peel. Serve your Down and Dirty Dry Martini chilled and enjoy!
