I'm not sure olive oil is soluble in ethanol. If you use an emulsion,
a lot of oil will stick to any glass surfaces or droppers you use.

A thought: You might try soaking a drop of olive oil into a *** of
sterilized paper towel, measuring the size of the stain, and taking
about 1/100th of that and dropping it into the vat.

Leaving the oil on the paper for awhile will give the oil time to
become evenly distributed. Sterilize the paper first if you can.
