Martini with some of the olive brine mixed into it. I prefer it that

Thanks for describing this. Doesn't sound like there is much
difference between a Martini and a Dirty Martini.
So what was the bad perfume you tasted? :-) > > > > > >
I am not a martini wonk, but I do taste a big difference. Martini
clasically is 3 parts gin to 1 part sweet vermouth. I have read that a
modern ix is 5:1. The addition of 1 part olive brine makes a sharp and
salty add-on flavor. It takes that sometimes harsh juniper flavour down a
few levels.
