Dirty Sue's Three-Way Martini Calls for Ingredients in Equal Parts
Laura McQuarrie — April 8, 2026 — Lifestyle
The martini is one of the most challenging cocktails to lighten up, since its magic lies almost entirely in the interplay of spirits, but Dirty Sue's cheekily named Three-Way Martini introduces a lower-alcohol twist on the classic dirty martini. The Three-Way Martini keeps the drink-making process exceptionally simple by calling for equal parts of a quality spirit, a quality dry vermouth and Dirty Sue Premium Olive Juice. “The Three-Way blends the ease of a Negroni—equal parts of all ingredients—with an elegance that has made the martini arguably the most iconic cocktail ever cocktailed," said Dirty Sue founder Eric Tecosky.
Dirty Sue shared its recipe for a Three-Way Martini alongside a freshly announced trio of new cocktail garnishes in its Signature Series: Green Dots (jalapeño-stuffed jumbo cocktail onions,) Blue Hots (premium cocktail olives stuffed with fresh Wisconsin blue cheese and habanero pepper,) and Cowboy Olives.
