- Dirty Martini – use vodka or gin, which Alpha is using vodka. Martini’s can be stirred or shaken. Shake it up! Make the glass as cold as possible. Fill shaker with ice. Add 2 ounces of vodka. Add 1/2 ounce of dry vermouth. 1/2 ounce +/- of olive juice depending how dirty you like it. Shake for 5 to 10 seconds or else it’ll get watery. Pour and garnish with speared olive.
