Wanting to kick up my martini a notch, I thought a little heat might be desirable. Came up with this after sampling a Cobra Verde at LOLO in Hudson, WI. This might also be called a Dusty Fresno since rather than dirty, we're adding a scant 1/4 oz olive brine. HUGE thanks to Rich for the sign and Keri for getting me to post this.
Music for making this: Son of a Preacher Man by Dusty Springfield
Ingredients
1 3/4 oz Beefeater gin
1/4 oz Fresno pepper infused gin* (see below)
1/4 oz olive brine or to taste (varies by olives used)
Add all ingredients to mixing glass. Stir, stir, and stir some more.
Strain it a chilled martini glass. Garnish with 2-3 olives.
*Fresno pepper gin
Add 2-3 slices of Fresno pepper to a small mason jar. Seeds and ribs removed.
Add about 6 oz of Beefeater gin.
Let sit overnight, remove peppers and leave in jar or transfer to a stoppered bottle.
