Imagine for a moment you are James Bond on holiday from your latest mission. You could be anywhere – London, Prague, New York. You could have a pint of the local, but why would you when what you really want is ice cold vodka – shaken, never stirred – and poured to icy perfection.

No, you really aren’t a spy, but that doesn’t mean you can’t save your evening from the ordinary drink. Add a little olive juice and it gets a little dirty.

Ingredients:

4 oz. of top shelf vodka

Olive juice to taste

3 stuffed olives

Dirty Martini by Zylo, 225 River Street, Hoboken.
