Vitani Dirty Martini 750ML

Vitani Dirty Martini 750ML is a spirit-based ready-to-drink dirty martini made with premium vodka and real olive brine, bottled at 18% ABV (36 proof). Unlike many pre-mixed cocktails that rely on malt or wine bases, this expression uses actual vodka as its foundation — a distinction that separates it from much of the RTD category.

Quick Facts: ABV: 18% (36 Proof)  |  Origin: Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, USA  |  Style: Ready-to-Drink Cocktail  |  Producer: Vitani Spirits

Production & Heritage

Vitani Spirits was founded on the premise that no existing ready-to-drink product replicated what a bartender would actually pour. The Dirty Martini is developed and bottled at a small distillery in the Ste. Genevieve, Missouri area, where premium vodka is blended with real olive brine to replicate an authentic bar-quality cocktail. The liquid is packaged in an aluminum bottle designed to chill up to five times faster than glass and maintain its cold temperature significantly longer — a practical advantage for outdoor events and on-the-go serving.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose is full-bodied and immediately announces the olive brine, followed by subtle sweet corn undertones from the vodka base. There is a clean, savory quality rather than anything overly pungent.

Taste: On the palate, the entry is briny and well-rounded, with the olive character meeting the smooth, slightly sweet vodka mid-palate. The mouthfeel carries a warm, silky texture that avoids the harshness sometimes found in spirit-based RTDs at this proof level.

Finish: The finish is clean, crisp, and smooth with lingering salinity. It fades without bitterness, leaving a dry, olive-forward impression that mirrors a freshly shaken dirty martini.

How to Drink Vitani Dirty Martini

The simplest serve is straight from the chilled bottle or poured over ice — no mixing required. For a garnished presentation, pour into a chilled martini glass and add a skewer of green olives or a lemon twist. If you want to build on the base, try adding a splash of dry vermouth for a more classic martini ratio, a few dashes of hot sauce for a spicy dirty martini variation, or a measure of pickle brine for a filthy martini with amplified tang.

• Hosting outdoor gatherings where bartending equipment is impractical

Why Vitani Dirty Martini?

The use of real olive brine rather than artificial olive flavoring gives the liquid a savory depth that holds up against a freshly made bar version.

For anyone tired of RTD cocktails that taste like approximations, Vitani's Dirty Martini delivers the closest bottled equivalent to what a bartender would shake and strain.
