Anyone who knows me, knows my favorite martini is a dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives! It’s my go to order when I travel or when I go to steakhouses here in Dallas. Bombay Sapphire is my first choice, but I’ve been known to go Grey Goose also. There is just something about indulging in a good dirty martini before diving into a big fat steak that sets the tone for me! Carl and I love to have steakhouse dinners at home even more than going out anymore because we can make better steaks at home for a fraction of the price! Same goes for the martinis. I developed this fun dirty martini bar that is perfect for hosting your guests. When you’re busy in the kitchen and don’t have time to make individual cocktails for everyone, this martini bar comes in handy. You can set out full bottles of Gin and Vodka along with olive brine and blue cheese stuffed olives for your guests to make their own cocktail. Enjoy!
