You’re halfway to a martini, thanks to these creative cocktail olives where the cocktail is already in the olive! All about updating staples of the American bar, the family-run Jack Rudy company has a real eye for accessorizing. That’s why these meaty, unstuffed California olives are so much more than a garnish. Brined in a splash of dry vermouth, as well as juniper and coriander (botanicals associated with great gin), you might just pass on a glass, and order them straight up.

Make these olives part of a cocktail party featuring booze-infused foods —  think Absinthe Uncured Salami and Tennessee Whiskey Shortbread Coins — where you can get buzzed without opening a bottle!
