Which cocktail lists olive juice and 8 count vodka with an olive garnish?

• A. Appletini
• B. Dirty Martini
• C. Martini Straight Up
• D. Martini on the Rocks

Answer: (B)

Olive juice signals olive brine, which defines a Dirty Martini. This drink uses vodka (as the base) and adds olive brine to the mix, then is finished with an olive garnish. The “8 count vodka” hint reinforces the vodka-based version, and the brine is what gives it the characteristic dirty, savory flavor. An Appletini relies on apple liqueur, not olive juice, and the classic martinis (straight up or on the rocks) focus on the base spirit with dry vermouth and typically don’t include olive brine in the mix, even if olives may be used as a garnish. So the cocktail that lists olive juice and vodka with an olive garnish is the Dirty Martini.
