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

From the Labs, still working on the vinegar/lime mix, more lime, less distilled?

Prepare beforehand and let steep overnight:
1 part apple cider vinegar
2 parts white wine vinegar
1 part distilled white vinegar
1 part lime juice
Spices (Cayenne, garlic powder, chili powder, black pepper)

Combine 2 parts mix: 1 part tequila
dash of cointreau
