Wicked Witch Dirty Martini

There is nothing I love more than sipping on a salty and sharp dirty martini. At the end of this {VERY} long week and the start of {YET ANOTHER} long weekend for the boys, I wanted to share a fantastically fun recipe. As I listen to the boys argue, fight, and whine over the next four days I will most certainly morph in to a Wicked Witch. I have always wanted to have a drink named after me! Cheers!

The Wicked Witch Martini



6 ounces vodka
1 ounce dry vermouth
1 tablespoon olive juice
1 cup cracked ice
2 -4 green stuffed olives {Or, try my favorite, Tomolives}
2 eyeballs {Just Kidding!}

Place two martini glasses in the freezer to chill.
Combine the vodka, olive juice and ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake until well chilled, about 20-30 seconds. Swirl the vermouth in the chilled glasses coating them. Strain the mixture into the glasses, add an or two olive and serve.

{Disclosure - Although I have adapted the recipe quite a bit and really made it my own, I found the above picture, original recipe, and inspiration on Food52, one of my favorite food blogs. They credited The Crabby Cook with recipe on their site.}
