I was trying to come up with an equal counterpart to Robert Rothschild's jarred Dirty Martini Dip as I haven't been able to find it at my local Hallmark store. I have to agree with the other reviewers--the vodka taste is too strong and it needs more olives. I did used pimento stuffed olives and I added in a quarter cup of chopped jalapenos. Even after sitting, the vodka taste did mellow but it was still way too strong. I'd like to play with this recipe. I think it's close, but it's missing a little somethin'-somethin' or two. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

I LOVE dirty martinis so this sounded right up my alley. This does taste like one... It's really missing something, though. I would definitely increase the olives to start. After that, I think it still may fall short.

this was way to salty tasting and the vodka added a strange taste. if i were to make this again, which is unlikely, i would omit the vodka.

I followed the directions exactly, and the spread was way too thin. I added another 8 oz package of cream cheese and that fixed the consistency problem. After letting it sit overnight, I found the vodka taste to be too strong the next day. I might try to make it again with less vodka to see if it's just my taste that's off, but I did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

This is great with pumpernickel stick crackers or pumpernickel melba toast. I left out the vodka for a family function and we loved it! It can tend to get salty, so you do have to watch it. I used pimento-stuffed olives.

This was a good recipe for a change & very easy to make. Great reviews from guests. I found this really just served 12-15 people & was not sure what type of crackers would go with this. I added a SMALL clove of garlic, minced & a dash of green hot sauce. Go easy on the olive juice as I thought it was a bit salty.
