Down and Dirty Dry Martini
What is the B-52 cocktail named after?
MORECreator Peter Fich was a fan of the band and so named shooters after his favourite bands. The B-52 is a layered shot with a coffee liqueur such as Kahlua at the bottom Irish cream in the middle and Grand Marnier on the top (Cointreau or triple sec can be used instead).
Variations include a B-51 which uses Frangelico hazelnut liqueur as the top layer; B-53 which substitutes Sambuca for Irish cream; and B-55 or B-52 Gunship which substitutes absinthe for triple sec.

Gin
Gin is a distilled alcoholic beverage that has it's origin in medicinal liquor made by monks and alchemists across Europe. The historical Gin producing regions are Southern France, Flanders and Netherlands. Gin was originally created to provide aqua vitae from grape and grain distillates.
During the Middle ages, the newly found substance Ethanol was considered by Alchemists to be the water of life, and an aqueous solution of ethanol was in use all over Europe and had different names and is literally the origin of many spirits like Whisky ( from the Gaelic uisce beatha for water of life ). Today Gin is produces from a wide range of ingredients, which gave rise to numerous distinct styles and brands. The predominant flavour of Gin is from the Juniper berries and then each different distillery flavours it further with an assortment of botanicas or herbs, spices, floral and fruit flavours, in different combinations. Gin is commonly drank mixed with Tonic water but it is also often used as a base spirit for many gin based flavoured liqueurs like Sloe Gin.Olive Juice
The Mediterranean shrub called Olive produce small bitter fruits known as Olive, and is of major agricultural importance in the Mediterranean region, and is the source of Olive Oil and as the fermented or preserved fruit that is one of the core ingredients of Mediterranean cuisine.
The green olive, picked fully grown but unripe are picked and due to the presence of Oleuropein, are not edible on their own, young fruits are very bitter and the bitterness has to be removed by curing and fermentation, to make them edible.
Black olives are ripe olives, the fruits are picked at full maturity and the fruits have Oleuropein, the phenolic bitter compound found in its skin, although in much lower concentration than in the young green fruits, still the Oleuropein is leached to remove the bitterness and then preserved in brine and sterilised during the canning process.
Sliced black olives are used as topping on sandwiches and pizzas, in cocktails like the Martini, green olives are used and the brine flavour doesn’t go with Sweet Vermouth and many mixologists thus prefer using a Dry Vermouth which pairs well with the brine flavour of the olive. Black olives are used in some cocktails too and variations of the Dirty Martini, however green olive is more often used.
