Webstore isn't up yet (SOON!), so it isn't a click-n-order - but if you contact me via the website we can work it out. Also carry other cocktail goodness (tools, ingredients and books - no booze) for those in need. Cheers! a.

The olive juice in 99% of olive jars is a low grade pack brine, meant only to keep the olives from drying out and rotting. Once FDR decided to add some to his martini, jars began to be drained. Dirty Sue is twice filtered premium olive brine (olive juice). I would liken it to using fresh squeezed orange juice vs. a carton of juice from concentrate. Besides the upgrade in quality, bartenders can enjoy the ease of use - put a pour spout on and away you go. Also, by not draining olive jars, bars and home users can keep their olive fresh instead of having a jar full of rotting olives with no brine. And how many times has a bartender heard, "I want my martini filthy," only to realize you've come to the last drops of olive juice. Now you have to run back to the store room, fumble with that gallon jar and waste time to make the drink. Hope this info helps. Cheers, Eric For Jeff Frane,
