Ingredients:

  • 2.5 oz premium vodka
  • 0.5 oz dry vermouth
  • 1 oz high-quality olive brine
  • 3 large Spanish Queen olives

Instructions:

  1. Place a martini glass in the freezer for at least 15 minutes until it is opaque with frost.
  2. Fill a cocktail shaker with large, solid ice cubes to ensure maximum chilling without excessive dilution.
  3. Pour the vodka, dry vermouth, and olive brine into the shaker.
  4. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 20 to 30 seconds until the shaker is painfully cold to touch.
  5. Strain the mixture into the chilled glass using a Hawthorne strainer.
  6. Garnish with three Spanish Queen olives on a cocktail pick so they sit just above the liquid line.
