Dirty Martinis are increasingly customizable, with varying levels of brine intensity defined by a scale at different bars.
Can you think of anything besides a martini that you'd ever want "filthy"? A filthy cabernet. A cheeseburger most foul. Gross milk. This does not work with really any other item than the martini, and if you've read a bar menu in the past five years, you'd think dirt is the only thing people want. The classic dirty martini-traditionally made with a splash of olive brine-seems almost quaint now, as iterations with olive oil, MSG, olive and tomato vermouths, and other savory ingredients have proliferated.
