Happy Thirsty Thursday and Christmas Eve Eve! Today I’m excited to share one of my all-time favorite cocktails that I typically order at restaurants, but 2020 allowed me to perfect my at-home cocktail-making skills. Some enjoy their martinis dry, with a twist or sweet… This is how I like mine… extra dirty! The key to success here is vigorously shaking it. So go ahead, shake what your mama gave you!
I’ve loved sharing this December cocktail mini-series with you. In case you missed them, I’ve recently shared a Pumpkin Pie Martini, BK’s ‘famous’ Espresso Martini, and a festive Poinsettia Martini that I’ll be making this weekend. Let’s get into this one…
CMK’S EXTRA DIRTY Martini
INGREDIENTS:
2 oz. of Vodka (I prefer Tito’s or Grey Goose) or Gin
0.5 - 1.5 oz of olive juice to taste (I use Spanish olive juice or Dirty Sue Olive Juice)
Tiny splash of Dry Vermouth (I prefer Martini & Rossi)
Olives of choice for garnish. Blue cheese or Gorgonzola both work well & I love them both!
DIRECTIONS:
Add your vodka, olive juice, and vermouth to a shaker with ice.
Shake it extremely hard for 30-45 seconds. Pour into your martini glass of choice! Garnish with your preferred olives on a metal toothpick.

Every host/hostess needs a fabulous cocktail set and glasses!
I really love these vintage-inspired coup glasses, they’re great for martinis and champagne! I also really love this gold cocktail set, it would make a fabulous hostess gift with a bottle of liquor.
