Fire cider used: Herbs & Honey

A dirty martini gets its salty edge from olive brine. We swap in some of our Herbs & Honey fire cider for half the brine, which brings horseradish, garlic, thyme and a little orange along with it. It's shaken ice cold and served with plenty of olives, so it's saltier and bolder than our gin Gibson.

Serves 1 | Prep 3 min

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 ounces vodka
  • 1/4 ounce dry vermouth
  • 1/4 ounce Fire Cider: Herbs & Honey, shaken well
  • 1/4 ounce olive brine (from the olive jar)
  • Ice
  • 3 green olives on a pick (blue cheese stuffed olives are great here)

Glass and garnish

Chilled martini glass, three olives on a pick.

Steps

  1. Add the vodka, vermouth, fire cider and olive brine to a shaker filled with ice.
  2. Shake hard for about 15 seconds, until the shaker is painfully cold.
  3. Strain into a chilled martini glass.
  4. Add the olives.

Tips

  • Want it dirtier? Add more olive brine, not more fire cider, so the drink stays balanced.
  • Refrigerate fire cider after opening, and shake it every time you pour.
