But I meant if it's a gin martini I only like it dirty because the olive juice helps with the gin taste. Vodka is almost tasteless, so I don't really need the olive juice.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730068911068404106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879467715440441311.post-64284676893914181822010-01-01T09:23:35.922-08:002010-01-01T09:23:35.922-08:00I've had them once or twice, but I was never s...I've had them once or twice, but I was never sure about the proportions. But you're right--it's not like Gwynnie invented the dirty martini. Or bread + olive oil. Most of her recipes ARE totally basic.<br /><br />Why do you prefer gin to vodka? I don't think I've ever had the vodka kind.Bbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15632564258313217894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879467715440441311.post-15842744765384041432009-12-31T19:34:24.733-08:002009-12-31T19:34:24.733-08:00Have you ever had a dirty martini?
