HOW TO MAKE A GIN MARTINI DIRTY RECIPES

Steps:

• Put two martini glasses in the fridge to chill. Thread the olives onto two cocktail sticks and set aside.
• Fill a jug or mixing glass with the ice, then pour in the gin, vermouth and olive brine. Stir until the outside of the jug feels cold. Taste to make sure that it's icy cold and that you’re happy with the dilution.
• Strain the mix into the chilled glasses and garnish with the olive skewers.

Steps:

• Chill the glass: Before you build your Martini, put your Martini glass in the freezer to chill.
• Build the drink: Place the gin or vodka and dry vermouth in a mixing glass.
• Stir and strain: Add cubed ice and stir for 30 seconds until the Martini is chilled. Strain the drink into your chilled Martini glass.
• Garnish the drink: Pare a lemon peel, and express (pinch) the back of the lemon peel over the martini. Rub the lemon peel around the rim of the glass and drop it into the glass. Alternatively, garnish with speared olives.
