<pre>Olive Juice is used in the making of a beverage called a 'dirty martini'. It
seems to be readily available in the US, but I have not seen it here in
Australia. As a keen martini drinker, I would be very interested to try it.
Some people use the juice from a jar of olives, as in the recipe below:
Ingredients:
2 oz Gin
1 tblsp Dry Vermouth
2 tblsp Olive juice (from the olive jar)
2 Olive, garnish
Mixing instructions:
Put an ice cube and a small amount of water in cocktail glass. Place in
freezer for 2-3 minutes. Fill mixer with all ingredients including garnish.
cover and shake hard 3 or 4 times. it is ok to bruise the gin on this one.
Remove cocktail glass from freezer, empty, strain drink into cocktail glass
add olive from mixer. Serve with a mysterious smile...
