Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
