What Is a Kalamata Olive Martini?
Youre probably more familiar with seeing kalamata olives as part ofsalads, oncharcuterie boards, or atop pizzas.
But we suggest keeping that jar of black olives handy to try in your next martini recipe.
Thread the olives on a cocktail pick; place in the glass.
In a cocktail shaker half filled with ice, combine gin, olive brine, and vermouth.
Cover and shake until very cold.
Strain liquid into the martini glass.
