Is there a particular cocktail to which you gravitate? For me it is the dirty martini. There is just something about that combination of gin, vermouth, and olive juice that strikes me as perfection. The other day as I was enjoying a sip I started thinking about how this combination would be wonderful in a cheese spread. After a bit of experimentation, I came up with this. I passed samples around at Thanksgiving, and everybody thought it was wonderful. What a welcome addition this would be to a holiday drinks party, or, sit back with your favorite movie and enjoy it on your own. Either way, it is a must try!
