When Franklin Roosevelt met Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill in Tehran, he offered them each a classic Dirty Martini. The Dirty Martini, “dirty” because of the olive juice brine that clouds the otherwise clear liquid, has marked special gatherings made in the U.S.A ever since.

Did you know: When President Franklin Roosevelt signed the act repealing the Prohibition on March 22, 1933 he celebrated with the first legal martini – his Dirty Martini – 2 parts gin, to one part dry vermouth with a teaspoon of olive brine, an olive and a lemon peel rubbed around the rim of the glass.
