Mexican Martini

Posted Sun, 04/22/2012 - 16:54 by Jon

Back in Austin, Trudy's has an epic drink called the Mexican Martini. Epic enough such that there's a relatively strict 2/person limit. Luckily, there are multiple Trudy's in town...

The recipe is somewhat contentious. Many have tons of orange juice and even sprite in the recipe, but I remember hearing from a trusted source that there was definitely a bit of rum in the mix. You're aiming for a strong and slightly briney margarita, shaken and served up.

Juice of 2 limes
3 oz tequila (or split with mezcal)
1 oz cointreau
1 oz rum
1 oz orange juice
dash of olive brine

A custom cocktail from the master mixologists at Wisdom.

Via The Hill is Home:
Since it’s from our friends at Wisdom, it has an extra dose of awesome. So, here it is, from the head bartender, the Porque Hola! (aka, “Why, hello” en mal Espanol) ... According to owner Erik Holzherr, it”s, “a perfect summer drink that is extremely refreshing but with a fun and unique kick…this drink will appeal to die hard margarita drinkers and novices as well.”
