Finally Found The Perfect Martini

It took 3 months but I've found the mix I like. I don't have exact measurements but this is roughly how it goes:
(In a 4 oz glass)
- Half a teaspoon of green olive brine.
- Liberal dose of dry vermouth. 1/2 ounce?
- Vodka, (any brand above $13/750 ML bottle) poured up to about 1/2 inch below rim.
- Top off with Bombay Sapphire gin.
- Pour all this into a shaker w/ ice and shake it until your fingers hurt with cold. If there are chips of ice in the poured drink, you're shaking too hard. Garnish with 2 green olives (see above) and serve.
The vodka smoothes out the bite of the gin and there's so little olive brine that it's not overly salty like a dirty martini. It's combined so that nothing overwhelms any other ingredient and you can taste them all. If you're feeling adventurous, drop two capers in.
