Thirsty Thursday - I like it dirty...

I have to feature my all-time favorite drink in my first Thirsty Thursday post.
The martini is traditionally made with gin and a splash of vermouth. Add a splash of olive "juice," and a couple of olives, stuffed or plain, and you have the Dirty Martini.
I could go into the history, the variations in qualities of gin, the benefits and drawbacks to various amounts of vermouth, the great controversy over shaking vs. stirring...
But really, it's simple: Follow the above instructions...drink...ENJOY.
