This basil martini is dirty, wet, and delicious.
Pour the vodka, olive brine, and vermouth into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Stir until the shaker becomes very cold on the outside.
Strain into a chilled martini glass.
Rub the rim and the stem of the glass with a basil leaf.
Garnish with a skewer of olives and a basil leaf. Cheers!
*To make the basil-infused vodka, place 10 basil leaves in a 750 ml bottle of vodka. Set aside for 3 hours before straining out the leaves.
