Dirty pickle martini ingredients
- Gin: I prefer a gin martini, which has a more botanical-forward flavor. If you prefer vodka, use your favorite instead.
- Pickle juice: Dill pickle juice has the best brine flavor, save the cornichons for garnish!
- Vermouth: Use dry or extra dry vermouth.
How to make a martini with pickle juice
- Add gin, pickle juice, and dry vermouth to a cocktail mixing glass filled with ice.
- Stir with a bar spoon until well chilled, about 30 seconds.
- Strain into a chilled cocktail glass, garnish, and serve.
Tips from Jenna
- Serve your pickletini in a chilled martini glass.
- Garnish with a small pickle, pickle spear, pearl onions, or sprig of fresh dill.
- I like my martinis stirred for a silky texture with less dilution. A cocktail shaker works too, giving you a colder, slightly more diluted drink with a cloudier appearance.
