Here are three ways of making a dirty martini – the classic version made with olive juice, a variation made with muddled olives in place of juice, and the “dirtier” version using both olive and onion juice.

Here are three recipes for making the perfect dirty martini: olive juice, olive and onion juice combined and muddled olives.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 3-1/2 ounces gin (or vodka)
- 1/2 ounce dry vermouth
- 1/2 ounce olive juice
- Large pimento-stuffed olives
Instructions
- Fill a mixing glass with ice and add the gin, vermouth and olive juice. Stir, strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with olives.
Notes
Muddled Variation:
Muddle 2 olives in the bottom of a mixing glass. Fill with ice, add the vermouth and gin (omit the olive juice), stir and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with olives.
“Dirtier” Variation:
Fill a mixing glass with ice and add the gin, vermouth and, in addition to the olive juice, add 1/2 ounce cocktail onion juice. Stir, strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a combination of olives and cocktail onions.
