Today we’re thrilled to celebrate one of the bar scene's all-time favorites: the Dirty Martini. And to help you whip up this classic, we’ve just launched our sleekest and most premium product to date: the Elevated Craft Diamond Edition Hybrid Cocktail Shaker.
Though it feels modern, the Dirty Martini has roots dating back to around 1901. Legend has it that John E. O'Connor, a bartender at the Waldorf Astoria, transformed the classic Dry Martini by muddling olives, creating a delicious game-changer. And let’s not forget FDR, who famously served them to White House guests.
In this cocktail, the olive brine is more than just flavor – it enhances the sweet and savory notes of vermouth while softening any bitterness. For an elevated experience, try using fresh vermouth and artisan olive juice. And remember: olives should be served in odd numbers—one or three—because who needs bad luck?
