Whip up this creamy, briny appetizer inspired by the classic dirty martini. It comes together fast and is perfect for parties or game days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 8 oz blue cheese, crumbled (reserve some for garnish)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped pitted green olives
  • 1/2 cup olive brine
  • 2 oz gin (optional, for authentic flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, blue cheese crumbles, and sour cream. Mix until the base is smooth.
  2. Stir in the chopped green olives, olive brine, optional gin, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined.
  3. Season the dip with salt and pepper to your preference. Taste and adjust brine or seasoning as needed for the desired level of saltiness.
  4. Transfer the dip to a serving dish or a martini glass for presentation.
  5. Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Before serving, garnish the top with reserved blue cheese crumbles and a light drizzle of olive oil.
  7. Serve cold with crackers, pretzels, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • This dip is great for make-ahead entertaining; prepare it a day in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator.
  • If you skip the gin, you can still achieve a great flavor profile using only the brine.
  • For a lighter option, consider substituting some sour cream with Greek yogurt, though the texture will change slightly.
