Cocktail Olives - Delicious Garnish Olives For Martinis
Most martini recipes call
for garnishing the drink with gourmet olives. The chief advantage of an
olive is that it adds salt to the drink.
(Unlike olives used in cooking,
bar olives for martini recipes are
usually preserved in brine).
For cocktail party
"elite" martini drinkers, the garnish called
for in martini recipes transforms a simple
martini into a whole new animal. To these
members of the Martini Recipes Police,
martini recipes that are garnished with
onions instead of olives aren't really
Martinis at all…they're called Gibsons.
If you are
using gourmet olives as martini garnish, we
recommend rinsing them under water just
before you put them into the Martini. This
prevents excess oily olive juice from
polluting your drink. Fresh olives are also
very important. Olives that have been
sitting for a while will ruin a martini.

Some say the olive is the best part
of a martini. Martini drinkers often
claim that garnishing the beverage
with olives gives it an extra kick
of flavor. Cocktail party-goers
insist that the simple olive garnish
turns gin and vermouth into a
martini.
The Facts
The olive has its positive
health effects, but it's hardly
the reason why it's a necessary
ingredient in a great martini.
Bar olives used in the
drink
are preserved in brine and their
salty flavor alters the taste of
the drink.
Martinis are typically garnished
with three olives; any
additional are served on the
side. Many recipes for the
classic cocktail recommend using
gourmet
olives to embellish the drink.
Eating Martini Olives
Dedicated martini drinkers savor
the olives at the end of the
drink. Olives soak up some of
the gin and vermouth, giving
them a unique taste.
When the drink comes with more
than one olive, martini lovers
typically eat one olive with the
first sip, using a cocktail pick
or just swallowing. The second
or last olive is swallowed with
the last of the drink.
History
There is no definitive story on
the creation of the martini, but
folklore suggests the drink was
first mixed during the
California Gold Rush.
"In 1849, a miner struck it rich
and was returning to San
Francisco. The miner, arriving
in Martinez, the first large
town he hit, wanted to
celebrate. He walked into our
leading bar and asked for
champagne," according to the
City of Martinez website.
Champagne was not available.
"However, the bartender told him
(the miner) that he had
something much better than
champagne and served a drink
which the bartender said was a
'Martinez Special'. The miner
liked the drink and ordered for
the house. Over a period of
years the name Martinez became
martini."
Types of Martini Olives
No matter what type of olive you
use, always use fresh ones. Old
olives will ruin a martini.
There are countless types of
olives that can be added to a
martini. In addition to the
typical bar cocktail olive,
gourmet olives stuffed with
garlic, blue cheese, onion,
anchovies or almonds may also be
used to give a martini a more
distinctive flavor.
