Once I discovered the dirty martini, it has become my favorite. But where does the olive juice come from? Usually the bartender just pours some of the brine from the jar of green martini olives into the  mix. This can leave you with jars of dry olives in your refrigerator. It can also be expensive, and if you have ever watched a bartender stick his fingers into an olive jar, and strain the liquid into your drink, you probably would prefer not to relive that.

Then I discovered Dirty Sue Premium Olive Juice. Dirty Sue is twice filtered olive brine made from premium olives, created by bartenders, to make the best dirty martinis available. If you enjoy dirty martinis then you will definitely want to try Dirty Sue. It has a nice olive flavor, smells wonderful and is a staple for any martini bar.

To make a Dirty Sue Martini just shake 3 ounces of gin or vodka and 1/2 ounce Dirty Sue with ice and strain into a martini glass. I prefer to use a small bit of vermouth and make mine dry with gin. I also use 3 olives or blue cheese stuffed olives. I also enjoy the hot variation with a couple added drops of tobasco and jalapeno olives.
