A Nonalcoholic Martini for Slightly Dirty Gin Martini Lovers

While this salty and briny cocktail won’t replace a martini, if you get it cold enough, you just might think it’s the real thing. By freezing the liquid, you’ll bring the temperature down without having to dilute the mixture with ice. This method prevents a weak and watery NA cocktail.

1 serving

  1. Chill a martini glass in the freezer for 1 hour.
  2. Pour ingredients into an 8 oz (or larger) glass jar.
  3. Chill in the freezer for 30 to 40 minutes, or freeze overnight and let the mixture defrost in the fridge for at least 1 hour before you plan to serve.
  4. Garnish with 3 olives on a toothpick.
