There's nothing inappropriate about the dirty martini, despite its suggestive name—it's just the extra olive flavor that spices up this twist on an old standard.

To complete this How-To you will need:

3 oz. gin (or vodka)
2 tsp. dry white vermouth
1 tsp. olive brine
1 to 3 olives
Ice
A martini glass
A mixing glass or cocktail shaker
A long spoon
A toothpick

Step 1: Chill glass

Chill the martini glass by filling it with ice and water, and set it aside.

Step 2: Fill with ice

Fill the mixing glass with ice.

Step 3: Add gin, vermouth, & olive brine

Add the gin, vermouth, and olive brine.

Tip: Bottled olive juice is sold in varying potencies so you can concoct a drink that's as light or dirty as you prefer.

Step 4: Stir with spoon

Stir with the spoon for about 15 seconds.

Step 5: Empty glass

Empty the now-chilled martini glass.

Step 6: Strain drink

Strain the drink into the martini glass.

Step 7: Spear olives

Spear 1 to 3 olives with the toothpick.

Tip: For an exotic touch, use premium olives stuffed with blue cheese, garlic, or jalapenos.

Step 8: Garnish and serve

Garnish and serve.
