How to Boost Cocktails with Bleu Cheese Stuffed Olives
Martinis and bloody mary’s are delicious cocktails in their own right, but adding bleu cheese stuffed olives is a flavorful way to take them to the next level. Rather than spend a ton of money on these gourmet garnishes consider making them yourself. Here are the steps for making rich and delicious homemade stuffed olives for a fraction of the cost that a bar would charge. Cheers!
For Martinis
Because the martini is the basis for the entire drink, it’s important that you get it right before you can even begin to think of the garnish. Start with 3 ounces of gin or vodka, depending on your personal preference. Next, add a hint of dry vermouth and a splash of the olive brine from a jar of olives (if you like it “dirty”). Finally, shake these together with ice and strain into a long-stemmed martini glass. Most people simply garnish their drinks with olives, but bleu cheese stuffed olives are a delicious and fun alternative. To make them, drain a jar of pitted green olives without pimentos, and combine the following ingredients:
- ½ cup bleu cheese
- Clove of minced garlic
- Dash of black pepper
Now it’s time to fill the olives with the bleu cheese mix. All you have to do to create a homemade piping bag is fill a plastic baggie with the mixture and cut the corner off. Next, squeeze the mixture into each olive and return the olives to the brine from a few hours up to a few days. All it takes is one or two stuffed olives to make a fabulous martini – the challenge is holding back from eating the entire jar!
For Bloody Mary’s
Again, you need to have a zesty and flavorful bloody mary in order for the stuffed olives to reach their full potential. There are so many different variations of this tomato juice and vodka-based drink that is best served with brunch – some like it hot, others substitute vodka for tequila, and in some parts of the country they even add pickle spears as garnishes. No matter how you personalize this popular drink, one thing is for sure: you can never go wrong by adding bleu cheese stuffed olives. Follow the same steps as above for the perfect complement to your bloody mary, regardless of which variation of the drink you prefer.
