Blue Cheese-stuffed olives are the BEST garnish in a martini! Much as I love a good martini, I usually have to ask my husband to make them because I always somehow mess it up. Not any more. This is the PERFECT recipe (although I prefer mine so dry that one merely whispers "Vermouth" rather than actually adding the stuff). Cheers! -
Delightful flavor....I found I could stuff a few more than 2 spanish olives with 8oz of blue cheese...but that just afforded a few of these to be shared!! Love these- had somethign like it in Chicago years ago at the Park Hyatt and have been looking for another since. Thanks for posting and reminding me about this WONDERFUL martini treat!! PAC 2007
