Dirty Martini

It has to be great Vodka, others will swear Gin, personally if it's going to be a 'Dirty' Martini then I prefer Vodka.

Sacred Spirits do a really great Vodka (and Gin incidentally), I know this because I accidentally had the opportunity of drinking far too much of it one evening. I'm not a big drinker but a third of a bottle is a lot for me. I know it was AMAZING vodka because apart from tasting so smooth and pure, I didn't get a hangover.

Sacred is distilled in HIGHGATE, London so ticks all my locally sourced boxes, is owned by a dedicated couple: Ian and Hilary Hart.  The Harts have also brought out an inspiring range of Distillates: juniper, citrus, coriander seed, oddly there's a new feel to these very specific, almost eccentric flavours.

Sacred Dirty Martini

Ingredients
6 fl oz vodka (or gin) (chilled)
1 dash dry vermouth

Ice, cracked (broken up a bit)

How to...

  • Ideally chill the vodka and cocktail glasses ahead
  • Combine the vodka, dry vermouth, brine and cracked ice in a cocktail shaker. Pour into the chilled glasses.
  • Add the olives on a stick.
  • Sip voraciously, I mean, graciously...
