FAQs
Should I use gin or vodka?
Whichever you prefer in your martini! We're team gin.
I don't like olives. Any tips?
If you like your martini served with a lemon twist, omit the olive brine and add 1 ounce of lemon juice instead. Omit the olives on top, and garnish with lemon zest.
I don't have goat cheese! What other cheeses can I use?
We recommend using a crumbly, creamy cheese with a similar texture like blue cheese or feta cheese.
