DIRTY MARTINI DIP

 

A dirty martini is a classic and is one of my favorite cocktails! This dip has all the yummy flavors of the classic cocktail and it’s the perfect appetizer to whip up for your next party! There’s also lots of fun variations to this dip as well! You can add additional things such as: minced garlic, fresh ground pepper, sliced green onions, jalapeño or blue cheese stuffed olives, or a splash of vodka or gin. 

Ingredients:

• 8 oz cream cheese; softened 
• 1 cup sour cream 
• 4 oz crumbled blue cheese (divided)
• 3/4 cup pimiento stuffed olives; chopped 
• 1 tbsp olive juice 
• 1/4 tsp onion powder 
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder 

Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl combine cream cheese, sour cream, olive juice, garlic & onion powder, and half your blue cheese. Use a hand mixer on medium speed to combine everything 
2. Stir in chopped olives and rest of your blue cheese by hand 
3. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve alongside crackers, bread, pretzels, vegetables or whatever else you’d like an enjoy!
