Notes

Preparation

To Make Ahead: This actually makes a great freezer door cocktail--that is, a cocktail you can mix up and store in the freezer and grab as needed. Follow the batching instructions just below and pour the mixture into a mason jar then place in the freezer until you need it.

To batch dirty martinis for a crowd, shake up 10 ounces of gin, two ounces of dry vermouth, and two ounces of olive brine over ice then strain equally into four chilled martini glasses. Garnish with olives. Serves four.

To turn this drink into shots, simply divide it evenly between three shot glasses and drop one olive into each glass.
