House-Infused Olive Vodka

Martini Ingredients

Method

House-Infusing the Vodka

  1. 1

    Infuse the Vodka

    In a clean glass jar, add the olives to the vodka. Seal the jar tightly and let it infuse in a cool, dark place for at least 5 days, shaking it gently every day. Taste the vodka after 5 days; if you desire a stronger olive flavor, let it infuse for an additional 2-3 days.

Preparing the Martini

  1. 2

    Mix the Martini

    In a cocktail shaker, fill it with ice. Pour in 60 ml of the house-infused olive vodka, 15 ml of dry vermouth, and 30 ml of olive brine. Stir well for about 30 seconds until chilled.

  2. 3

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with 3 blue cheese stuffed olives on a skewer or directly in the glass.
