THE DIRTY MARTINI recipe (the ultimate Vegas cocktail) • 2 oz Gin (or Vodka) • 1 tablespoon dry vermouth • 2 tablespoons olive juice (or add more to taste) • 2 olives skewered together on a cocktail pick
for the perfect dirty, place martini glass in the freezer for 30 min. to an hour to fully chill. Or for a quick chill; fill martini glass with crushed ice and a little water and let sit for a few minutes. Then pour out ice and water before pouring martini.
Fill cocktail shaker with ingredients and a cup of ice. Shake until shaker is ice cold (about 7-10 shakes). Pour into martini glass. Skewer 2 cocktail olives to toothpick and drop in glass for garnish.
VERMOUTH NOTE: Vermouth is an interesting thing when it comes to martinis. Some people like very little or none at all. Some bartenders will splash vermouth into the martini glass, swirl it around to coat the inside of the glass and then pour out the remainder before pouring the martini into the glass. The recipe for a "perfect martini" (the name of the drink) uses equal parts sweet and dry vermouth (about 1 teaspoon each). Thurston Howell, III used his wife's perfume atomizer and sprayed the vermouth in the air over the cocktail to make an extra dry martini.

THE VESPER MARTINI The drink was invented by Ian Fleming, author of James Bond novels. The recipe appeared in the 1953 book "Casino Royale". The 2006 film "Casino Royale" sees Bond (Daniel Craig) order a Vesper by giving the original recipe to the waiter, which included Kina Lillet.
THE ORIGINAL IAN FLEMING VESPER RECIPE (as ordered by 007 in 1953): • 3 measures of Gordon's Gin • 1 measure of Vodka • 1/2 measure of Kina Lillet Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel.
Kina Lillet was discontinued in 1986. From Wikipedia: A liqueur made with white wine mixed with fruit liqueurs and flavored with quinine. The "Kina" in its name is derived from quinine's main ingredient: the bark of the kina-kina (or cinchona) tree. Today Lillet Blanc is fairly widely available and is now commonly used as a substitute for Kina Lillet. Cocchi Americano has also been used as a substitute to recreate the original recipe's flavor which has a more bitter finish than using Lillet Blanc.
MODERN VESPER MARTINI RECIPE (from Esquire Magazine 2006): • 3 oz Tanqueray gin, • 1 oz 100-proof [50%] Stolichnaya vodka, • 1⁄2 oz Lillet Blanc, • 1⁄8 teaspoon (or less) quinine powder or, in desperation, 2 dashes of bitters. Shake (if you must) with plenty of cracked ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and twist a large swatch of thin-cut lemon peel over the top.
For these two Quiet Village episodes we made a little more mellow version, but still pretty heavy. We used Hendricks gin which has a more cucumber aromatic to it. We did not use quinine, just Lillet Blank. Boy are these strong, as we found out during the taping of the first part.
