The first time I tried one of these absolutely dreamy concoctions was at Blue in Omaha, NE. I think they taste best when the olives are freshly stuffed, but even with the ready-made blue cheese stuffed olives, they are so delicious. I made this guy to sip as I watched and LiveBlog-ed during the Real Housewives of New Jersey on Tuesday. 

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.
