dirty martini but with pickle juice from a jar (dill) instead of olive juice. polish her off with a couple cornichons and you're cookin with gas!!!
once the taste of this nectar of the gods hits your lips u will never look at a traditional dirty martini the same again
extra dry, extra dirty. I'm talking 3 oz gin, about 3/4 oz olive brine, splash of vermouth. Garish with two garlic-stuffed, or blue cheese-stuffed, or feta-stuffed (if you're feeling extra fun) olives and enjoy.
i make them with so much pickle juice and olive juice until they could potentially be confused with a salad dressing - a crush of pepper, a few drops of olive oil, im in heaven and life is so good
