What sets a dirty martini recipe apart from a classic martini? The main difference is the addition of olive brine, which give the drink a salty edge. It's also shaken, not stirred, and can be made with either gin or vodka. Don't forget to garnish with extra olives.

I have been making this recipe from Martha Stewart for years. I have a delicate stomach and I am unable tolerate Alcohol and I have no issues with this. I make it Gluten Free.
