Are You a Dirty Martini or a Flirty Fizz?
Cocktails often reflect personality. A Dirty Martini suggests something sharp and controlled, while a Flirty Fizz feels playful and bright. Both have their place. For more on this idea, see What Your Favorite Cocktail Says About You.
The Dirty Martini
Gin or vodka, dry vermouth and olive brine. It’s savoury, crisp and unapologetic. For technique, see Stirred or Shaken?. Compare it with the Negroni for another spirit-forward classic.
The Flirty Fizz
Light, sparkling and easy to share. Think citrus, a little sweetness and bubbles. For more refreshing options, see the 20 Summer Drinks Guide and Springtime Spritzes.
Neither is better — it depends on the mood and the moment.
