Cocktails, Style, and Mischief. Shaken, Not Stirred.
Welcome to the only cocktail cart where art, fashion, and nightlife pour into one glass. Inspired by The Marko Stout Chronicles and the glamorous chaos of NYC after dark, each recipe is bold, indulgent, and designed to make every sip feel like a front-row seat at Fashion Week. These aren’t just cocktails, they’re liquid excess.
“If the cocktail doesn’t shimmer, neither does the night.”
— Marko Stout

Ingredients: 3 oz premium vodka (Grey Goose, Belvedere, or any gallery-night favorite) ½–1 oz olive brine (the secret to its sultry depth) ½ oz dry vermouth (optional, depending on your preferred finish) Ice—lots of it 3 large green olives (Castelvetrano recommended for luxury flavor) Optional: a splash of first-press olive brine for extra richness
Instructions:
1. Chill Your Glass Like a Manhattan Gallery Place your martini glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes. A perfect martini begins with a perfectly frosted canvas.
2. Fill Your Shaker with Ice—Overflow It Temperature is everything. A Dirty Martini should hit the tongue like liquid metal: cold, smooth, unforgettable.
3. Add the Vodka, Vermouth & Brine Pour in the vodka, add vermouth if desired, and measure your brine based on how “dirty” you want this night to be.
4. Shake Until the Shaker Frosts Over Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds. The outside should look like a polished metallic sculpture—classic Marko Stout glamour.
5. Strain Into Your Ice-Cold Glass No ice chunks. No shortcuts. Just a flawless, silky pour.
6. Garnish with Three Perfect Olives Presentation matters. Skewer three olives on a sleek cocktail pick—think gold, chrome, or matte black for maximum style.
The Marko Stout Signature Touch: To give your martini a luxe, art-house finish: Add a whisper of truffle brine Mist the glass with smoked olive oil Serve on a black napkin with a metallic garnish pick This transforms your martini from a cocktail… into an experience.
