About this Recipe
Dolly Parton and Rachel Parton George share their unique twist on a classic martini in their cookbook “Good Lookin’ Cookin’.” In addition to olives, the sisters add in iced tea and pickled vegetables.
This Southern twist on a classic dirty martini combines vodka, unsweetened tea and a little brine from a jar of giardiniera. Dolly and Rachel assert that the colorful pickled vegetables in the giardiniera, which are used as a garnish, “make this martini especially good lookin’.”
