I think the strong flavor comes from the olive juice and the extra kick of alcohol, though!

Dirty martinis pack a punch because of the olive brine, which adds extra flavor and saltiness. I think that's what makes them hit differently than a classic martini.

Dirty martinis pack a punch because they're made with vodka or gin and a splash of olive brine, giving them that extra kick! It's like a tasty slap in the face, in the best possible way!

Totally agree with you on that. The olive juice definitely adds a unique punch to the flavor, and that extra splash of alcohol doesn't hurt either! Cheers to unraveling the secrets of the dirty martini!
