Hillary's Dirty Little Secret

When an interviewer asked Hillary Clinton to name something she carried with her at all times she responded, β€œhot sauce,” claiming that eating chiles boosted her immune system. Inspired by Clinton’s love for all things spicy and her favorite drink (a β€œBond-style” vodka Martini), we created a spicy Martini with a touch of pickle brine to make a little dirty (like most politicians).
