Classic Dirty Gin Martini – Super cocktail for a super spy

Are you planning a cocktail evening where everybody gets suited and booted for a night out? One thing you definitely need is a cocktail bar that has all of the essentials. Front and centre is the Classic Dirty Gin Martini. No cocktail evening can go without it.

The only thing that sets this Classic Dirty Gin Martini apart from the other classic gin martini is the addition of the brine which the olives are pickled in. It provides that extra tangy flavour that’s so lip-smackingly good. Do yourself a favour when you plan on making this cocktail and keep a couple of martini glasses in the freezer. It doesn’t just look cool, but it will keep your drink the same. It’s so easy to make, mix it in under a minute and stir.

Would you like it shaken? How about having it stirred? What does it matter? The Classic Dirty Gin Martini will make you feel like a superstar or a super spy before you even take a sip.
