Olive Oil Martini
Gin washed with high-quality extra virgin olive oil — the fat coats the spirit in grassiness, bitterness, and a faintly peppery finish that makes this the savory martini format for adults who take their olives seriously.
Served in a martini glass · Garnish: Castelvetrano olive, EVOO drop · Difficulty: hard
Ingredients
- 2.5 oz EVOO Fat-Washed Gin
- 0.5 oz Dry Vermouth
- 2 dashes Orange Bitters
Instructions
- To fat-wash: combine 1 tbsp premium EVOO with 16 oz gin; rest 1 hour only (olive oil washes quickly); freeze; filter.
- Combine washed gin, vermouth, and bitters in a mixing glass with ice.
- Stir 40 seconds — this one needs full dilution.
- Strain into a chilled martini glass.
- Garnish with a castelvetrano olive on a pick and a drop of premium EVOO floated on the surface.
