My mum gave me the recipe for this turkey breast marinade. Regardless of how long my husband cooks these, they always come out juicy and tender. Although simple to make, it usually tastes best when marinated for at least 4 hours.

I added more brine and double stuffed Tassos olives with Garlic & Jalapeños
Loved this recipe. Instead of putting the vermouth in mix I put in chilled glass and swirled around then dumped out. It was perfect. I did however put more olive juice in mine making it a little filthy rather than dirty.
This makes a nice martini, but I backed off the vodka. I mean, 6 oz for a drink that serves *allegedly* 1? Pulease! that would easily be enough for two generous drinks unless, of course, your bar serves martinis in margarita glasses So, having backed off the vodka, using slightly less vermouth and 8 small olives from a bottle that I’m trying to get rid of and about 1/2 oz of olive juice, it made a nice on the rocks drink.
No changes it’s perfect!! Cheers!
I reduced the amount of vodka to 4 oz and used three blue cheese stuffed olive – this was a perfect martini for me! It filled my martini glass to the rim! So good – and effective!
I first tried this at a pool hall,and loved it, I now enjoy this occasionally with Skyy Vodka extra dirty, no vermouth,3 garlic stuffed olives,I will have to get some Dirty Sue Mix, Delicious
Thank you so much for this recipe. We received two bottles of delicious Tito’s Vodka as gifts. Tried this last night – fabulous – especially the reviewer who said to swish the vermouth -. Two batches made plenty for predinner drinks for both of us. Added some cocktail onions. The first exactly by the recipe, the second just swishing the vermouth in the chilled glasses. The left over “swished” vermouth went into the onion bottle to flavor them! So easy so good. We will enjoy these often
6 ounces was a lot of vodka. I had them go 4 ounces and it taste puuuurrrrfect
Superb! Lots of ice in the shaker and shake hard but not for long. Just about get frost bite of a stainless shaker! Use good quality queen olives (and brine). Always adhere to the odd number of olives philosophy. This bit was from my recently departed dad (who was a seasoned bartender). “Why’s that, Dad?” “That’s the tradition, Son”…
I didn’t have the proper set up as far as shaker & strainer, also smaller size of martini glasses. In the video it looked like SO much. I eyeballed it, cutting all ingredients in half. Made 2 small martinis, they were delicious. Will use again.
No changes and will make it again.
I find that 6oz of vodka is a little too much for me. But all in all is is good!
very simple, nice drink! enjoyed
I used Stirrings brand imported olive brind that I purchased at the liquor store instead of the brine from the olive jar. I think it tastes better. A little goes a long way too and I don’t use quite as much brine as this recipe calls for. I have used other brands of bottled olive brine and to be honest, I th
I love a good Dirty Martini but 6 ounces of vodka is too much for this drink. 3oz is more than enough to fill the Martini glass
So delicious
I don’t mix the vermouth into the cocktail, rather splash the serving glass with the vermouth, give it a good swirl and then dump the excess.
delicious!
Just added a dash more of olive juice.
Not a bad martini. I would recommend using a good vodka and dirty martini mix (such as dirty girl or Giuliano). I made it twice once as written and once with a olive mix. The martini with the olive mix tasted better than the one using the brine in my opinion.
EASY PEASY, if you have the ingredients. I happen to have DRY VERMOUTH for basting Cornish Game Hen for one one, BOO! And PIMENTO OLIVES, a craving for moi! Plus, Grey Goose Vodka, in like, FOREVER. Didn’t know what to do with it! Then, looked up Martini recipes and thought, OLIVES! YES! Saw this and WA LA! DIRTY MARTINI FOR ONE! I DID ADD A BIT MORE DIRTY TO MINE! LOVE OLIVES! GREAT RECIPE! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!
