Eggs and Base
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
Liquids and Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon gin (or vodka)
- 1 teaspoon dry vermouth
- 1 1/2 teaspoons olive brine
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Add-ins and Garnish
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped green olives, plus more for garnish
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
- Paprika or chili flakes, for garnish (optional)
- Cook the eggs: Place eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes to hard boil the eggs.
- Cool and peel: Drain the hot water and transfer eggs to a bowl filled with ice water. Let the eggs cool completely to stop cooking and make peeling easier. Once cool, peel off the shells carefully.
- Prepare the filling: Halve the peeled eggs lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl, setting the whites aside on a plate for stuffing later.
- Mix the filling: Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Stir in mayonnaise, gin, dry vermouth, olive brine, garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add olives and parsley: Gently fold in the finely chopped green olives and parsley, ensuring even distribution of flavor throughout the yolk mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Fill the eggs: Using a spoon or piping bag, carefully fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture, creating a neat mound of filling.
- Garnish and serve: Top each deviled egg with a slice of green olive and sprinkle with paprika or chili flakes if desired for an extra pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- If gin is unavailable or undesired, vodka can be used as a substitute.
- Ensure eggs are fully cooled before peeling to avoid tearing whites.
- Olive brine provides authentic dirty martini flavor; use good-quality brine from green olives.
- For a spicier kick, increase paprika or substitute with cayenne pepper.
- Prepare deviled eggs up to a day ahead, covering tightly and refrigerating to let flavors meld.
