Bartender Tips
★ Keep It Ice Cold: Shake or stir the ingredients with plenty of ice until thoroughly chilled. For a smoother, spirit-forward martini, stir; for an extra-cold, slightly more diluted cocktail, shake.
★ Balance the Brine: Pickle and pepperoncini juices vary in saltiness and acidity. Start with the listed measurements, taste, and adjust the juices to find the perfect balance without overpowering the vodka.
★ Make the Garnish Count: Garnish with a baby pickle on a cocktail pick for a classic dirty martini look. For extra flair, add a pepperoncini alongside the pickle to highlight the cocktail’s tangy, savory character.
