Which cocktail is typically served straight up with olives on top?

• A. Appletini
• B. Martini Straight Up
• C. Dirty Martini
• D. Martini on the Rocks

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is how this cocktail is presented and garnished. A classic martini is prepared with gin (or vodka) and vermouth, then served straight up—chilled but without ice—in a stemmed glass. The traditional garnish is an olive on a pick that sits on top of the drink. That precise presentation—straight up and topped with an olive—defines this option. The other choices don’t fit the described presentation: an Appletini is fruit-flavored and typically garnished with an apple or cherry; a dirty martini is like a regular martini but includes olive brine, which changes its flavor, and may still be served up but isn’t defined by olives on top; a martini on the rocks is served over ice.
