A classic martini comes together with a handful of ingredients, so when [Pop-Up Bagels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannabis-infused-spirits) set out to create a [Dirty Martini](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-martini-fragrance) Schmear, olives and vodka were essential inclusions. Although National Martini Day takes place in mid-June, fans will only have until June 4th to experience this limited-time martini-inspired cream cheese that gets its savory, briny essence from Mezzetta olives and ALB Vodka.

"Loyal fans have been asking for a Dirty Martini schmear forever—and with martinis having such a moment right now, it finally felt like the perfect time," Adam Goldberg, founder of [Popup Bagels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pickle-de-gallo-schmear), told Forbes. As consumers crave inventive, savory spreads and martini-inspired menu items, this cream cheese spread delivers it all—combining bold, tangy flavor for the perfect bagel pairing.
