Mexican Martini: A Flavorful Fusion of Tequila and Citrus
Elevate your cocktail game with this vibrant blend of tequila, lime, and olive brine—perfect for any occasion!
The Mexican Martini, a popular cocktail that originated near the Mexican border in Texas, has become a staple in bars and restaurants across the nation. It is a variation on a martini, but with a Mexican twist. The components generally used for a Mexican Martini include tequila, orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Triple Sec), lime juice, orange juice, and olive brine. This cocktail delivers a fresh and zesty taste, perfectly balancing sweet, sour, and savory flavors. It makes an ideal beverage for sipping on a hot summer day or pairing with Mexican cuisine. Personally, I prefer the Mexican Martini over any traditional or dirty martini. I appreciate the distinct taste of the olive brine, and tequila is always my preferred spirit over vodka and gin.
Ingredients for Mexican Martini
2 1/2 oz tequila blanco
1 1/2 oz Cointreau
1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 oz freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 oz green olive brine
Garnish
Lime wedge
Green olive
Glass
Martini glass
Instructions
Combine all ingredients with ice in a shaker and shake until chilled, about 25 seconds.
The Mexican Martini will be served in a martini glass without ice; therefore, the ingredients need to cool down well while shaking.
Strain into a martini glass.
Rub the lime wedge on the rim of the glass for extra flavor.
Attach the lime wedge with the green olive to the rim of the martini glass as a garnish.
Enjoy the Mexican Martini and pair it with your favorite homemade Mexican dishes or any spicy cuisine for a delightful experience!
