ingredients

ice, both crushed and cubed
3 ounces good quality vodka (grey goose or ketel one)
1/2 ounce olive juice (or more, depending on how dirty you like it)
1 dash vermouth
2 large blue cheese and almond stuffed olives (or more)

directions

Fill a martini glass with crushed ice and cold water. Place in the freezer for 2-3 minutes to chill.

In a shaker, combine the vodka, olive juice, vermouth and a handful of ice cubes (do not use crushed ice in the shaker or it will make the drink watery).

Remove the martini glass from the freezer, pour out the water/ice and wipe the glass dry.

Strain the dirty martini into the chilled glass. Serve with three stuffed olives.

To make your own stuffed olives: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place a handful of slivered almonds on a baking sheet and place in the oven for about 5 minutes or until just lightly browned and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Form small balls of blue cheese around some of the toasted almonds and stuff into large, pitted green olives. These can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for a couple of days.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
