A dirty martini is a classic cocktail made by combining gin or vodka with a splash of olive brine. This results in a slightly salty and savory flavor profile that distinguishes it from a traditional martini. The addition of the brine not only provides a unique taste but also gives the drink a cloudy or "dirty" appearance, hence the name. The dirty martini is typically garnished with a few olives, adding an extra touch of briny goodness to each sip. It has become a popular choice for those looking to deviate from the standard martini and explore a more robust and flavorful alternative.
