My perfect Friday evening is a glass of Dirty Martini with vodka. Nothing seems more stylish and easily heady than a nice-looking glass of Martini with some olives. This is definitely a girlish cocktail to enjoy after a busy day, and especially at the end of the weekdays. It is a sweet cocktail for girls with a splash of alcohol, either gin or vodka. 

Christmas Dirty Martini with VodkaWhy vodka instead of gin?

Well, I adore vodka with Marini more than gin. However, Bombay Safari will make a great choice, either. Usually, gins have sweeter tastes, while vodka is headier and will get rid quicker of your body. But, it is personal and optional.

Beautiful and sparkling cocktails are the cherries on the pie at any gatherings. They add a note of elegance and delicacy on the table. This is my husband’s duty to spoil me nicely and moderate heady. Here you can adjust the strength after your preferences. One more shot of vodka or gin will make your cocktail rocket. A dirty Martini with vodka is a balance of sweet and dry at a time.

Dirty Martini at home:

If you like the taste of Martini, then you will find this cocktail friendly and exciting. It is one of the most asked cocktails in bars, so if you like it that much I do, quickly shake it at home and impress your family or guests. It is one of the oldest drinks in bars with worldwide popularity and some personal touches. I have tried Dirty Martini in different parts of the world and got surprised how different they may look and what decoration they may have. Green olives are the classic versions; however, I drunk with pickles, with fresh thinly sliced cucumbers, grapefruits, and even watermelon. All of them have in common one moment – they as if invites you to try them and get drizzled.

Dirty Martini is made of either gin or vodka. Gins are used more frequently in Dirty Martinis; however, for some decades, vodka came as a great substitute. Gins are sweeter than vodka, but it is at your discretion to choose what you love most.

Should a martini be stirred or shaken?

You need a shaker to blend of the ingredients. Traditionally speaking many cocktails are stirred, but if you use a juice in a cocktail then you have to shake it. So, Martini cocktails are shaken ones.
