Twisted Dirty Cocktail
Method
Twisted Dirty Cocktail
Prepare garnish
Thread 3 cheese-stuffed olives onto a cocktail pick. Lightly press each olive so the cheese is visible, then roll the assembled pick in the cracked black pepper to coat the exterior. Set the garnish in the refrigerator (or on a clean plate) while you build the cocktail so it stays chilled.
Build and chill
Fill a cocktail shaker half to three-quarters full with ice (about 1 cup).
Combine ingredients
Add 2 oz stateside vodka, 1 oz olive juice, 0.25 oz fresh lemon juice and 0.25 oz simple syrup (optional — include if you prefer a slightly rounded profile) to the shaker over the ice.
Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold and well chilled. This both chills and dilutes the cocktail to the right balance.
Prepare glass
Fill a chilled rocks or coupe glass with fresh ice if you prefer on the rocks, or leave dry for a straight-up serving. (If serving on the rocks, use 1 large ice cube for slower dilution.)
Strain
Double-strain (or fine-strain) the cocktail into the prepared glass to remove small shards of ice and any solids from the olive juice.
Garnish and finish
Place the peppered cheese-stuffed olive pick across the rim or drop it into the drink. If you want extra aroma, zest a thin strip of lemon peel over the cocktail and wipe the rim with the peel before discarding.
Serve immediately while cold.
