This is like a dirty martini meets an Aperol spritz. The Meletti adds complexity and I love the hint of salt from the olive juice.

Editor's Note

A clever mashup of a Dirty Martini and an Aperol Spritz. Olive brine brings a savory, saline kick that cuts through the sweet-bitter notes of Aperol and Amaro Meletti for a complex, refreshing aperitif.
