Dirty martini recipe that's simple

You may ask yourself how come when I go to a nice bar is their dirty martini tastier than the one I can make at home. It's simple, it's the olive juice. If you want to make the best dirty martini ever than follow these simple steps. First, you need a quality vodka. I choose Ketel one vodka for all my vodka drinks. Then you will need the right kind of olive juice. I only use spanish olive juice straight out of the jar. The pre-mix olive juices sold at liquor stores is crap. The little jar of olives has no taste. If you really want to taste the best, than get a big jar of Spanish queen olives with the pimento's. First, add 3 ounces of Ketel one vodka to your martini shaker and pack with ice. Then add an ounce of olive juice straight out of the jar and shake vigorously for thirty seconds. Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with three olives. I like to stuff mine with bleu cheese but you can do it any way you like. It's that simple. Do not add vermouth at any time. Dry vermouth ruins a perfectly good martini. I have been making martini's for 15 years and I have never used vermouth. You can use less or more olive juice depending how dirty you want to be. The more you add the saltier it will taste so be careful. Next time I will explain why choosing a vodka says a lot about who you are. Drink a great martini then go to Price Hunters for all your watch needs.
