Lately, the Dirty Martini has made a huge comeback. It’s a classic, sure, but not everyone gets it right. A great Dirty Martini is crisp, savoury and perfectly chilled – effortlessly sophisticated.

If you’ve ever made a Dirty Dry Martini that didn’t quite hit the mark, this recipe from Papa Salt is sure to set you straight.
