Why This Is The BEST Non Alcoholic Martini Mocktail
What Is A Dirty Martini Mocktail?
A Dirty Martini Mocktail is the non alcoholic version of a Dirty Martini, of course! The Dirty Martini is a classic cocktail which was believed to be originated in New York in the early 1900’s.
Typically a Dirty Martini contains vodka (or gin), dry vermouth, olive brine, and an olive garnish. This mocktail contains all those things, except the alcohol removed vodka and dry vermouth spirits. It still has the same classic flavor profile, don’t worry!

Dirty Martini Mocktail Ingredients
NOTE: Non alcoholic spirits are just like alcoholic spirits, some taste better than others. We all have different flavor preferences which is why I like to give multiple options. I give my recommendations, BUT at the end of the day I want to help you find which non alcoholic spirits you prefer.
Equipment Needed
- Martini Glasses or any type of small glassware.
- Cocktail Shaker or large glass.
- Stirrer or long spoon.
- Cocktail Pins for holding olive garnish in place.
How to Make A Dirty Martini Mocktail
STIR together non alcoholic vodka, non alcoholic vermouth, and green olive brine with ice.
STRAIN dirty martini from the ice into a martini glass.
GARNISH with green olives.
Non Alcoholic Martini Variations
The Dirty Martini is my absolute favorite because I love olives. BUT if you are looking for some variation to spice up your martini mocktail game, I have a few suggestions:
- Classic Martini Mocktail: omit the olive brine and olive garnish.
- Make it with non alcoholic Gin instead of Vodka. My favorite is Monday Gin but other options include Ritual, Free Spirits, or Lyre’s.
- Lemon Drop Martini: add 1/2 ounce of lemon juice and a lemon twist garnish, omit the olive brine.
- Appletini: add 1 ounces of apple juice, omit the olive brine.
- Pornstar Martini: add 1 ounce of passion fruit juice or puree, omit the olive brine.
- Flavor your martini mocktail with simple syrup instead of olive brine.

Love it but I think you may have meant an “uneven” amount of olives.
I love a dirty martini! I no longer can have alcohol so I look for alternatives that taste close to the original item, and this brand of N A vodka comes the closest of all I have tried. However, I can’t get it anymore! It’s not available anymore and I’m really disappointed. So, I’ve made my own take on a dirty martini buy mixing club soda, olive brine and a dash of Tabasco (for the heat in the back of your throat) and olive garnish.
Hi Barb,
Tabasco sauce is a brilliant idea! Even for the people who do not want to spend the money on N/A spirits. It would most definitely replicate the burn without altering the taste of the cocktail too much.
If you don’t mind me asking, which spirit substitute are you having a tough time finding? Would love to help you out there.
