This whipped butter is the ultimate cocktail hour flex. It captures the salty, briny energy of a dirty martini in a cloud-like, airy texture. The Castelvetrano olives add a buttery crunch while the blue cheese brings a sharp, sophisticated funk. It is vibrant, aesthetic, and total table service energy.
For Topping
Whip the Butter: Add butter, heavy cream, crumbled blue cheese, lemon zest, vodka, olive brine, white pepper, and onion powder to a mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, whip on low for 1-2 minutes. Scrape the sides, and then turn the speed to high for 4-5 more minutes until light and fluffy.
