Snarf got me… But check out Snarfburger in Boulder, CO. As it’s cold out, I’ll take a Scarfburger.
While the "wet" or "dry" aspect primarily focuses on vermouth, the olive plays a supporting role that can enhance or alter the drink. Here's how it relates: Classic Dry Martini: Often uses a standard Manzanilla olive, which provides a familiar salty counterpoint to the dry, spirit-forward nature of the drink. The goal is often to keep the olive's flavor relatively neutral, allowing the gin or vodka to shine. Wet Martini: With its increased vermouth content, a wet martini has a slightly softer, more herbal profile. Here, some might choose a slightly more flavorful olive, like a Queen or Castelvetrano, to complement the vermouth's botanicals. The milder nature of the wet martini can handle a more pronounced olive flavor. Dirty Martini: This variation introduces olive brine into the cocktail, significantly changing the flavor. In a dirty martini, the olive itself becomes less about subtle flavor nuances and more about reinforcing the briny character of the drink. Therefore, the olive used in a dirty martini is very important, because the brine that it is contained in, is added to the drink.
