    Nicely done. I would just re-emphasize the dirty part. People often make martinis waaaay too dirty to the point of it being disgusting. Also, choice of olives is extremely important. They must be crisp. Nothing worse than a soggy olive; but for some reason so many brands you find in the grocery store are that way.
