Shake Up Your Cocktail Game with a Twist on the Classic Dirty Martini
When it comes to iconic cocktails, the martini reigns supreme. With countless variations, some are a hit, while others are a miss. But what if you could elevate the classic dirty martini to new heights? Enter the caperberry dirty martini, a game-changing twist that replaces traditional olives with a tangy, salty caperberry and its brine.
The Perfect Ingredient: Caperberries vs. Capers
Before we dive into the recipe, it’s essential to understand the difference between capers and caperberries. Capers are small, peppercorn-sized buds often packed in vinegar brine or salt. Caperberries, on the other hand, resemble small green olives with a stem attached and are sold in a vinegar brine. Don’t confuse the two – you’ll want to use caperberries for this recipe.
