Description
This fat-washed dirty martini is a luxurious twist on the classic cocktail, infused with the rich, silky flavor of olive oil for added depth. The fat-washing process creates a smooth, savory spirit that perfectly complements the briny kick of olive brine and dry vermouth. Finished with a garnish of plump, stuffed olives, it’s the ultimate martini for cocktail enthusiasts who love bold, gourmet flavors.
Ingredients
For Gin:
- 2 cups – Gin
- 1/4 cup – High quality olive oil (Graza Drizzle)
For Cocktail:
- 3oz. – Olive oil fat washed gin
- 1oz. – Olive juice
- .5oz. – Dry vermouth
Instructions
1. Combine 2 cups of gin with 1/4 cup of olive oil in a mason jar and shake vigorously. Place in fridge and proceed to shake vigorously every 15 minutes for the next hour.
2. After the hour, place in the freezer. Once the olive oil has solidified, strain into another cup with a coffee filter, ensuring no solids make it into the gin. Once fully strained, set aside.
3. Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously for 45 seconds and double strain into a martini glass. Garnish with olives (preferably stuffed with blue cheese) and enjoy.
