History
Review
The transition from a mere Dirty Martini to a Filthy Dirty Martini isn't so much about more olive brine but the addition of lime juice. This introduces citrus freshness (beyond the lemon zest twist) and sourness. Using bianco rather than dry vermouth &/or old tom rather than London dry gin helps offset lime's sourness and olive brine's tangy, savoury umami. These also bolster the botanical notes to stand up to the 'dirty' ingredients.
Unusually for a cocktail with citrus juice, I recommend you stir this cocktail, but if you prefer your Martinis shaken, then you'll need to dramatically cut back on the vermouth, olive brine and lime juice, as shaking amplifies their flavours while masking the gin.

Why the lime juice ? It doesn't make sense, it's a stirred cocktail, not a shake cocktail and basically: juice in a gin martini ? Even shake we don't put juice in a gin/vodka martini
Too much vermouth, olive brine make the martini already wet than usual, 5ml is a better option.
10ml of olive brine is not enough, 10 is usually for a classic dirty martini, 15ml is a better option, particularly if the olive brine is good quality.
Idk know why this recipe is on difford guide...
