Martini garnish

OLIVE

This small, briny fruit often comes pitted and is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine, not just cocktails.

A martini is a classic cocktail often served with a small edible decoration, called a garnish. The most traditional garnish for this drink is an olive—usually skewered on a toothpick or dropped right into the glass. The clue is straightforward, referring directly to this common practice without any hidden wordplay or tricks. If you’ve seen a martini in movies or bars, you’ve likely noticed that little olive floating inside.
