DIRTY MARTINI

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 measure gin
• splash dry vermouth
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 pimento stuffed olive
• splash olive juice
• 1 large ice cubes

DIRECTIONS

Cut a slice off the clove of garlic and rub freshly cut edge around the rim of a chilled martini glass. Gently pour the Gin and Vermouth into a highball containing the ice and stir *slowly* for 30 seconds. Hold ice in glass bottom with stirrer and pour into martini glass. Take a pimento stuffed green olive from the jar with a teaspoon, (also allowing the spoon to fill with brine from the jar), submerge and place olive carefully into bottom of Martini allowing brine to disperse. Alternative; the Dirty Mexican Martini... As above except after rubbing the martini glass rim with garlic, up-end the glass and quickly dip in table salt. Instead of a pimento stuffed olive, use a piri-piri (whole small chilli) stuffed olive. Finally, drink and appreciate the fine art of a true martini!
