Soju Dirty Martini is precisely what one might expect but with an Italian twist. No, it is not the vermouth; it’s pasta—or, I should say, the addition of the pasta water. It gives the drink a smoother finish and viscosity and does not add any sweetness.
Yield: 1
Soju Dirty Martini
Prep Time 2 minutes
Additional Time 10 minutes
Total Time 12 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 oz Hwayo Soju
- 1/2 oz dry vermouth**
- 1/2 oz olive brine
- 1/2 oz pasta water*
- 3 olives on a cocktail pick
Instructions
- Chill a Nick and Nora glass or a cocktail glass in the freezer. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the soju, vermouth**, pasta water, olive brine and shake to chill, 10 -15 seconds. Double-strain into the chilled glass, garnish with the olives, and serve straight up or with ice.
Notes
*Pasta water:
The starchy, salted water left after boiling pasta is used in cocktail recipes for a unique twist. It adds a silky texture, savoury taste, and viscosity without any sweetness.
**Vermouth - The vermouth is optional, as the pasta water can replace it.
