Savory Martini

ingredients

• 3 (1" long) sprigs rosemary 
• 3 tbsp vermouth or the juice of Mezzetta® Imported Spanish Queen Martini Olives
• 5 oz vodka or gin
• Mezzetta® Bleu Cheese Stuffed Olives, for garnish

preparation

Chill martini glasses in freezer for 15 minutes.

Add 1 rosemary sprig to cocktail shaker and muddle to release oils.

Add ice to shaker. Pour in vermouth and vodka or gin.

Shake vigorously. Remove reserved rosemary leaves from the base of each sprig and thread with a Mezzetta® Bleu Cheese Stuffed Olive or two.

Remove glasses from freezer. Pour martini into glasses through a fine strainer, this will insure no rosemary bits end up in the cocktail.
