How To Make a Dirty Martini
This recipe for a dirty martini made with gin or vodka calls for 2 teaspoons vermouth, which is significantly more than the dash of vermouth called for in the recipe on this page. The amount of vermouth added is a matter of taste, with some martini purists suggesting that you just pass the bottle by the martini glass and say you're done. As you can omit the vermouth without affecting the "dirtiness" of the martini, you can adjust the amount you use an still have an authentic dirty martini.

Impressive. What I liked about your video was that the written instructions popped up on the screen as your voice instructed on the video. You also gave details about what implements you need prior to making the martini. You also gave a little factoid history lesson at the end. It's a great page. -
Introduction
- It's not clear who made the first dirty martini or where the idea for a dirty martini originated, but what is clear is that the world has fallen in love with it. Actually, the dirty martini isn't clear at all—that's why it's called a "dirty martini". Adding murky olive brine/juice gives the clear alcohol a brownish—green color, thus creating a "dirty" appearance. Martinis are traditionally made with gin, but vodka also works well. Which you use is a matter of personal preference. Dirty martinis are great because they allow you to snack on the olives while you drink, serving as both food and beverage!

What You'll Need to Make a Dirty Martini

- Use gin or vodka depending on your tastes. If you want to shake things up a little, use blue cheese, garlic or jalapeño stuffed olives. You can also use Absolut Peppar which has hints of roasted jalapeños, green tomato and dried herbs. You can always add more olive juice if you prefer it "extra dirty".
