We haven’t been what I’d necessarily call “classic” with our martinis…I mean, what the hell, it’s a pandemic, right?! What is even normal; I barely remember sometimes how we used to do things. This is how we do it now.

Anyway, this martini certainly appears dirty!!! We’ve been using kalamata olives and brine because that’s what we have. It still tastes great, even if it doesn’t have that crisp, sparkly look that a more traditionally clear martini has.

To misappropriate someone else’s catchphrase: Pandemic gin, ain’t no sin.
