The Botanist Dirty Martini

The ‘Dirty’ Martini is an iconic, if not controversial serve. It is perfect for drinkers who prefer a saltier profile. The olive brine helps the umami notes that can be found in The Botanist shine through. This is a stirred version of the recipe but it is one of the few Martini recipes that some prefer to be shaken.

INGREDIENTS

  • 65ml/2oz The Botanist Islay Dry Gin
  • 15ml/0.5oz Dry vermouth (chilled from the fridge)
  • 10ml/0.4oz Olive brine
  • Classic garnish: Olives

Method

  • Chill a Nick and Nora glass by filling with ice
  • Fill a mixing glass with 2/3 good quality ice
  • Add all the ingredients and stir continuously for at least 30 seconds to allow the ingredients to chill and dilute slightly
  • Empty the ice out of the glass
  • Strain into your chilled glass
  • Garnish with olives
