Dirty Sue Premium Olive Juice
Twice-filtered premium olive brine | Made for the perfect dirty martini — Dirty Sue Premium Olive Juice is the original bottled olive juice formulated specifically for cocktails: premium olives, twice filtered for clarity and flavor, delivering a clean, salty, tangy brine that turns a good martini into a great dirty one. Created by bartenders for bartenders — because the brine always runs out before the olives do. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
The profile is bold and bracing: bright, briny olive character with a clean salty finish and none of the murk of jar dregs. A half-ounce in a vodka or gin martini gives you the textbook dirty; it also sharpens Bloody Marys, Gibson variations, and savory marinades. Among cocktail mixers, Dirty Sue is the bar industry's default — the bottle stocked next to the bitters at serious home bars everywhere.
