What makes it a dirty martini?

[corbin]

Heyy! I've been pondering what exactly makes a dirty martini, and I'm hoping some of you might shed some light on the matter. I've sipped on a few in my time, and I know it involves olive juice, but beyond that, I'm a bit unsure. Does Anyone care to share their knowledge on what gives this classic cocktail its "dirty" twist? Cheers!

The addition of olive brine! That's what gives the classic martini its 'dirty' twist. It adds a salty, savory flavor that pairs perfectly with the gin or vodka. Cheers to the dirty martini!
