Fans of the dirty martini, listen up! Swap the green olive for a pickled green chilli and realise what you’ve been missing out on all this time. Perfect for a pre-dinner drink as you watch the sun set.

Ingredients
- 1 tbsp dry vermouth
- 60ml gin or vodka
- 2 guindillas or any pickled green chillies, drained, plus a splash of their brine
Method
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then pour in the vermouth. Seal and shake for 5 seconds, then pour away most of the liquid (leave a little extra in if you prefer a ‘wet’ martini). Add the gin (or vodka) and guindillas brine to the shaker, stir for 30 seconds, then strain into a chilled martini or coupe glass. Garnish with the chillies on a cocktail stick.
