Shared byAtlas

The Dirty Martini was created in America in the 1920s by bartenders who wanted to add a creative twist to the classic martini. The salty and refreshing effect of the olive brine makes the martini a drink of both sophistication and character.

The sharp and aromatic character of the gin or the more neutral character of the vodka, combined with the vermouth and the brine, offer a balanced drink. The olive garnish adds both visual and aromatic richness. Dirty Martini is an indispensable choice for those who want to enjoy classic bar culture and sophisticated presentations, especially in the evening.

“Life needs a little salt, a little balance and a lot of character”

With every sip, this classic plays with salty and aromatic balances, both relaxing and reminding drinkers of the taste of elegance.
