For those who like their cocktails to have a salty touch, the Dirty Martini is a delicious, slightly salty option. The term “dirty” means that olive brine, usually extracted from an olive cocktail jar, has been added to the beverage.
An olive garnish is also usually assumed. Most bars add equal parts of vermouth and brine, although you can specify “very dirty” or “dirty” if you prefer more brine. A “dirty” drink will have a slight change in color and flavor when a main ingredient changes. In the case of martinis, for example, “dirtying” them means adding olive juice.

These terms refer to the addition of olive juice.
to the cocktail. This is sometimes in place of vermouth. Some bars even include a dash of vermouth, sometimes keeping all the volume. The olive juice used is the one in which the olives come.
