A tried and tested dirty martini - for all you cool cats...
Since we like to think of ourselves as martini purists around here, this drink is simply called a dirty martini. If you are looking for a dirty vodka martini well then follow that link since that would be a vodka based drink, and some of the martini extremeists would turn their nose up at it being called a martini at all!
