Glenside native launches 5:dirty martini alcoholic beverage

Melissa Reed, along with her husband Kyle, has launched 5:dirty, a premium alcoholic beverage.

It is basically all the ingredients needed for a martini in one bottle. Co-creator Melissa Reed shared “I love my dirty martinis, however, I don’t always love making them myself. Sometimes I am out of a particular ingredient or pressed for time. Making them in batches to bring to say, a BYO restaurant or a friend’s party is also inconvenient.”

The Reed’s 5:dirty is crafted using premium ingredients blended to make the perfect dirty martini, including a world-class vodka made from the naturally filtered waters of Bellefonte’s Big Spring in Pennsylvania, fine dry vermouth infused with vibrant botanicals produced in the Piedmont region of Italy, and a balanced brine flavored from barrel-cured Spanish or Greek olives.

5:dirty comes in two varieties, “Dab of Dirty” and “Double Dirty” based on how little or how much olive brine you prefer.

5:dirty is not yet available through Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores or out-of-state. Pennsylvania residents can have it shipped. If you live within 40 miles of the city of Philadelphia, you may get the product delivered to your door with no added delivery fee. Otherwise, you may pay a flat $5 shipping fee regardless of where you live in the state.

You can learn more about 5:dirty on its website, or follow 5:dirty on Facebook and Instagram.
