You need this bold, briny appetizer for your next gathering. We fixed the common pitfalls to bring you a creamy, easy Dirty Martini Dip packed with blue cheese and olive flavor that comes together in minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 8 ounces blue cheese, crumbled, divided
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped green olives (pitted)
  • 1/2 cup olive brine (from the olive jar)
  • 2 ounces gin (optional, for authentic flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt, to taste (use sparingly due to brine/cheese)
  • Extra chopped olives and olive oil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the softened cream cheese, half of the blue cheese, sour cream, chopped olives, olive brine, gin (if using), garlic powder, and black pepper into a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Use an electric mixer or a sturdy spoon to beat the ingredients together until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop mixing when no large lumps of blue cheese remain, but maintain a slightly textured dip.
  3. Taste the dip. Add salt only if necessary, remembering that the brine and blue cheese already contribute significant saltiness.
  4. Transfer the dip to your serving dish. Sprinkle the remaining blue cheese crumbles over the top.
  5. Cover the dish and chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.
  6. Before serving, drizzle lightly with olive oil and garnish with a few extra chopped olives. Serve cold with crackers, pita chips, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • For a truly authentic cocktail flavor, do not skip the gin. If you must omit alcohol, add 1 teaspoon of white wine vinegar for a slight tang.
  • This is a fantastic make-ahead appetizer; prepare it up to 24 hours in advance.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, use a food processor to blend the ingredients until completely uniform.
  • Serve this dip in a large martini glass for a fun presentation at your party.
