Dirty Martini Juice

Ancient Olive Trees is a family company in Marin County, north of San Francisco, run by Aaron Mount, whose extra virgin olive oil comes from century-old trees planted in the era of the Spanish missions. The Dirty Martini Juice is what a good bar wants and a jar of olives never gives: brine that has rested in barrels with premium olives and then been triple-filtered, so it is clear and clean and tastes of olive rather than the jar. The tall bottle has a pour spout for measuring by the half-ounce.

• Add to gin or vodka martinis to taste
• Use in a Gibson-style or savory cocktail variation
• Keep chilled after opening for repeat cocktail service

• Origin: California, United States
• Refrigerate after opening

Water, olive brine, and salt.

How much for a dirty martini? Half an ounce to two and a half ounces of gin or vodka and half an ounce of dry vermouth; stir over plenty of ice for twenty-five seconds and strain into a cold glass. Go to three-quarters of an ounce for a filthy one.

Why not the juice from the olive jar? That brine is packing liquid, cloudy and often vinegary; this is made to be drunk.

Other uses? A splash in a Bloody Mary, a Gibson, or a vinaigrette for bitter leaves.

Here, “juice” means olive brine—the liquid that makes a martini dirty. It is not olive oil or a ready-made cocktail. The olives are sold separately, or buy both in the DIRTY + FILTHY combo. Read our guide to martini olives and brine or follow the Lello Dirty Martini recipe.
