Dirty Martini Mocktail

What Is A Dirty Martini Mocktail?

It’s the non alcoholic version of a Dirty Martini, of course!

The Dirty Martini is a classic cocktail that originated in New York during the early 1900’s. Typically they contain vodka (or gin), dry vermouth, olive brine, and an olive garnish. My mocktail version contains all those things, except the alcohol. We use non alcoholic vodka and dry vermouth for the same classic flavor profile.

Non Alcoholic Dirty Martini Mocktail Ingredients

• Non Alcoholic Vodka: I used Arkay for this recipe. Other varieties include Strykk and CleanCo.
• Non Alcoholic Dry Vermouth: I used Seedlip Spice 94 and even though it isn’t labeled as vermouth it does a great job mimicking the flavor notes. You could also use this NA Vermouth from Lyres.
• Green Olive Brine: This is what makes a martini “dirty” and it is just the liquid from the olive jar.
• Green Olives: Use your favorite brand and variety. This recipe uses plain pitted olives, but you could use bleu cheese stuffed olives, spicy, or even marinated olives.

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.

How to Make A Non Alcoholic Dirty Martini Mocktail

Here’s a quick overview so you can see how simple it is. You’ll also want to grab martini glasses or small coupe glasses, a cocktail shaker, stirrer, and cocktail pins to hold your garnish in place.

1. STIR TOGETHER the ice, non alcoholic vodka, non alcoholic vermouth, and olive brine.

2. STRAIN & SIP your dirty martini from the ice and into a martini glass. Garnish with an even amount of olives and enjoy!

Make It Your Own

• Use non alcoholic gin instead of vodka. My favorite is Monday Gin but other options include Ritual, Free Spirits, or Lyre’s.
• Leave out the olive all together and it becomes a simple and classic martini mocktail. From there you can add flavored syrups, add lemon juice to make a lemon drop martini, apple juice to make an appletini, or other juices like passion fruit.
