Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 8 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped green olives (pitted)
  • 1/2 cup olive brine (from the olive jar)
  • 2 ounces gin (optional, for authentic flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Extra chopped olives and olive oil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the softened cream cheese, blue cheese, sour cream, chopped olives, olive brine, gin (if using), and garlic powder into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Use an electric mixer or a sturdy spoon to combine all ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste the dip and add salt and pepper as needed. Remember the brine is salty.
  4. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Before serving, garnish the top with a drizzle of olive oil and extra chopped olives.
  7. Serve cold with crackers, pretzels, or vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead appetizer, prepare the dip completely, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to two days.
  • If you skip the gin, the dip still captures the martini flavor using the brine and olives.
  • This recipe is a great alternative to complex meal planning when you need a quick, impressive snack.
