Our blog is about our adventure as a gay couple in Denver, Colorado. We are fortunate to live in a beautiful place that provides lots of opportunities in our lives. Our food rating: 5 means we can't wait to make it again. 4 means we will make it again. 3 means it is good, we might make it again. 2 means we think we could fix it if we made it again. 1 means we will never make it again.

New recipe, August 31, 2018
The Dirty Española from Shake by Eric Prum and Josh Williams. Let me start by saying I have never had a dirty martini, so we may have been a bit naive about what to expect. That said, this is overpoweringly salty, and undrinkable. We give this a 1.
That said, we rather like the flavor of fino sherry in place of vermouth, and the caperberries are a nice alternative to olives. We just think the caper juice was utterly out of balance. I googled dirty martini recipes afterward, and at least some have similar proportions of olive juice—makes me pretty certain I will never order a dirty martini!
