Are you one of those people who go up to the bar and treat the garnish tray like a buffet table?
Do you enjoy the odd dirty martini?
A dirty martini is a classic Gin or Vodka, with the addition of olive brine.
The fact is that a lot of people come to the bar and pick olives out of the garnish tray…with their fingers.
Then, some unsuspecting person will stroll up to the bar and ask for a dirty martini, so essentially they are about to drink something that 50 odd people have had their fingers in throughout the evening. MMMM.
That’s why they call it Dirty!
