My sweetheart and I found ourselves blissfully without plans this past Thursday. It seems despite our best intentions, we’ve been running around since coming home from the holidays, so we were delighted to have a night without any obligations. We briefly considered going out, but then realized we could have a date night at home. This was particularly appealing because it meant I didn’t have to wear a bra and we could save a little money. So we whipped up some martinis, ate cheese and crackers and danced in the living room. If you ask me, that’s what a date night should be.
Date Night Dirty Martini
2 oz Vodka
1/4 oz Dry Vermouth
1/4 oz olive brine
2 green olives
Into a cocktail shaker, pour the vodka, Dry Vermouth and olive brine. Add ice. Shake well. Strain into a martini glass. Drop the olives into the martini before serving.
