If you don’t have blue cheese–stuffed olives, make your own: drain large green olives (Castelvetrano work beautifully) and fill with blue cheese using a small spoon or piping bag.    3.    Shake it up. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add OCEAN Organic Vodka, dry vermouth, and olive brine.    4.    Make it extra dirty ((Blake’s Favorite). For a richer, bolder flavor, drop a tiny crumble of blue cheese into the shaker before shaking.    5.    Frosty finish. Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker feels like chilled dive gear—cold and frosty (about 30–60 seconds).    6.    Serve. Discard the ice water from your glass, strain the cocktail, and garnish with your olives on a skewer.To watch the show click hereTo connect on TikTok click hereTo connect on Instagram click hereTo email Shaken & Unfiltered hosts, send messages to [email protected]
