A briny, savory twist on the classic — this martini leans into garlic and olive brine for maximum umami, garnished with Garlic-Stuffed Olives on the side for snacking while you sip. Bold, boozy, and a fun one for entertaining.
Ingredients
- 1 garlic clove
- 2½ oz premium vodka or gin
- ½ oz Olive Brine (or more if you like it dirtier)
- ¼ oz dry vermouth (optional)
- 2–3 dashes of hot sauce
- Ice
- 2 Olives Stuffed w/ Garlic (garnish)
Instructions
- While you chill your glass, remove one clove from an olive and muddle in the bottom of your shaker.
- Combine vodka (or gin), olive brine, vermouth (if using), and hot sauce.
- Add ice and shake vigorously for a colder, cloudier martini or stir for smoother texture.
- Strain the drink into your chilled glass, skewer 2 olives and place it in the glass.
Pro Tip: Serve with a small dish of olives on the side so you can snack while you sip.
