Calling all pickle lovers, you need this dill pickle martini in your life immediately.

A dirty martini without olive juice!? Yup! If you don't like olives, you have to give this dirty pickle a try.

Can you use pickle juice instead of olive juice in a martini?

Yes! You absolutely can use pickle juice in a martini recipe. If you don't like olives, I recommend giving this pickle martini a try.

What you need to make this pickle juice martini

When I say this recipe is stupid easy, it is stupidly easy. Here's what you'll need for this pickle martini.

Pickle Juice. I prefer dill pickle juice, but you can use your favorite kind of pickles. Whether that be bread and butter, spicy pickles, etc. get creative!

Vodka. I think vodka is a bit more user-friendly vs. gin for this martini recipe. You can use whatever vodka you like! I recommend using a slightly higher quality vodka since you aren't masking the vodka taste with a bunch of other ingredients.

How do you make a dirty pickle?

1. In a shaker, add a handful of ice. I like to do 1 oz. of pickle juice for every 2 oz. of vodka.
2. Add in your pickle juice and vodka. Shake until the cocktail shaker is frosted.
3. Strain into a martini glass.
4. Garnish and cheers!

Ideas for garnishes

It is always fun to have quick and easy garnishes for your cocktails! Here are some ideas.

1. Gherkins or cornichons - these are super easy to garnish your drink with!
2. Slice a dill pickle into thin pieces - you can skewer them like I did or let your creativity shine!
3. Fresh dill! You can never go wrong with using fresh herbs as a garnish.

Do you have to put dry vermouth in a dirty martini?

Nope! If you have it, you can add a splash, but it isn't necessary. I personally don't love the taste of it and think this dill pickle martini is perfect without it!
