The blend of herbs and spices in our Filthy Dirty Cocktail Spice is pungent, rich, and full of earthy, savory flavors like garlic and horseradish with a hint of heat to round it out. This combo is designed specifically to complement and enhance the salty, briny goodness of a standard Dirty – the salt in the olive brine combines with the rich, earthiness of the Filthy to balance out and play off of the botanicals in the gin. Dirty Martinis are good, but a Filthy Dirty Martini takes it to a whole new level.
Ingredients:
Up glass
3 oz Gin (you can sub vodka for the gin if you insist, but the botanicals in the gin provide a nice counterpoint to the saltiness of the brine and the savoriness of the Filthy)
¾ oz Olive Brine
Filthy Dirty Cocktail Spice
Ice
2 Olives (garlic-stuffed is ideal, but any nice pitted olives will work)
Instructions:
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
Add the Gin, olive brine and 2 blasts* of Filthy Dirty Cocktail Spice.
Shake, then strain into an Up glass.
Garnish with two olives on a skewer.
* a blast is a measurement describing one eyedropper of Cocktail Spice – approx 25 drops
