Tonight is throwback to my college days with a Dirty Martini, featuring Grey Goose Vodka. Yes, I had expensive taste and looking back I’m not sure how I was able to afford a Dirty Grey Goose Martinis, but then again I had a great job through college that paid well 👍.
Grey Goose Vodka is still a favorite because it’s smooth and you need that for a Vodka Martini. However, if you have another vodka preference, feel free to substitute the Grey Goose.
Tonight we decided to muddle our olives for an “extra” dirty 🍸. This recipe makes two Dirty Martinis and for this cocktail, you’ll need two Martini glasses, a cocktail stirring glass or shaker and a strainer because you don’t want those muddled olives falling into your glass.
Some Notes
- You can go without muddling olives, if you’d like a less dirty martini.
- Use good spanish olives. Unfortunately, we only had olive salad and it wasn’t very dirty 😕.
- 007 prefers his martini shaken, but we decided to be fancy with our cocktail stirring glass. Feel free to use a cocktail stirring glass or shaker.
