1. Heat the olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.

2. Add the sliced onions and shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 5 minutes).

3. Add the sugar and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and caramelized (about 20 minutes).

4. Deglaze the pan with vodka, scraping up browned bits. Let cook for 1–2 minutes, then remove from heat.

5. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, olive brine, garlic powder, and sour cream. Stir until smooth.

6. Add chopped olives, blue cheese crumbles, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.

7. Once the caramelized onions and shallots have cooled slightly, add them to the dip mixture. Stir until evenly distributed.

8. Transfer dip to a serving dish and chill for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.

9. Serve with kettle cooked potato chips, or toasted bread
