Dirty Blue
Friday, May 29th, 2009
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 shots of vodka
- 1/2 shot of olive juice
- splash of extra-dry vermouth
- lots of olives (the bigger the better)
- blue cheese crumbles
Instructions...
First either stick your martini glass in the freezer, or fill with ice and water to chill the glass while you are playing Tom Cruise (pre-scientology/creepy Katie Holmes phase) in Cocktail. Remove pimentos from olives and stuff with blue cheese crumbles. These can be soaked in vermouth. I prefer not to so I can eat the extras. And yes, I ate all of these, plus some in one sitting.
Add vodka, olive juice, and ice to a shaker and do the obvious for about 10 seconds. Then I empty the chilling martini glass or grab it from the freezer. Throw a splash of vermouth in there and swirl around. I dump most of it out, but use your judgment depending on how dry you like yours. Next, strain your vodka/olive juice mixture into the martini glass and add as many of the these babies (above) as you'd like. Sip slowly as one or two will usually do the trick. These are so delicious that it can become a bit dangerous. You should just take my word on that one. But they truly are delightful.
