With so many possible variations in ingredients and preparation, ordering a Martini requires finesse and knowledge of preferences, be it a Vesper, dry, wet, or 'perfect' Martini, with debates between gin and vodka as base spirits.
Dirty Martini, favored by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, stands out with its olive brine addition, providing a pungent taste and cloudy appearance, with some patrons ordering it 'extra dirty,' 'filthy,' or 'slutty.'
The Dirty Martini origins date to New York City in 1901, evolving from muddling olives into including olive brine, appealing to olive enthusiasts and those leaning towards savory drinks over sweet ones.
