dirty Martini from Brooklyn’s Gage & Tollner
. Consisting of two ounces of gin or vodka , three-quarters of an ounce of “dirty vermouth” and a half-ounce of house brine . “For me, this is the archetype: It’s restrained, it doesn’t club you with salt,” said Cecchini. It arrived crystal clear, thanks to the house brine that omits olive from the equation entirely, yet still delivered a refined salty note that answered the dirty Martini call. As Talia Baiocchi, Punch editor-in-chief, noted: “It’s a Martini purist’s dirty Martini.
Tied for second place were two recipes that took two very different approaches to the same ultrasavory endpoint., from The Gin Joint in Charleston, South Carolina, combines two ounces of Four Pillars Olive Leaf gin , a half-ounce of navy-strength gin, a quarter-ounce of dry vermouth and a half-ounce of Cerignola olive brine, plus two dashes each of saline solution and Bitter Truth olive bitters to round out the recipe.
Bolt’s recipe tied with that of Kelso Norris, from Genever in Los Angeles. Her dirty Martini, dubbed the, is a pre-batched combination of gin, dry vermouth, ground garlic, fish sauce and Datu Puti spiced vinegar. That latter ingredient, a traditional flavored Filipino vinegar, lent the finished product a distinctive vinegary note that stood out from the more typical salt brines, and appealed in its complexity. As Cecchini noted, “It attacks you in 12 different ways,” but all of them good.
