Do you use gin or vodka for a dirty martini?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While gin is more commonly used for a dirty martini, it’s up to your personal preference to use vodka or gin as your base. The more subtle flavors of a vodka-based version allows the olive brine to rise to the front over the gin’s stronger botanical flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes a dirty martini dirty?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The difference between a regular martini and a dirty one is that the dirty version has olive brine from a jar of olives added to the drink for an extra punch and usually a skewer of cocktail olives for a garnish. You can even up the amount of brine to go from a dirty martini to an “extra dirty” or “filthy” version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
