Mexican Martini Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces silver or blanco tequila
  • 1 ounce orange liqueur such as triple sec or Cointreau
  • 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/2 ounce olive brine from the jar of olives
  • 1/2 ounce orange juice
  • Ice
  • Lime wheel or twist and jalapeño slices (for garnish, optional)
  • Coarse salt for rimming the glass

Instructions

  • Instructions:
  • Begin by chilling your martini glass. You can do this by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes or filling it with ice while you prepare the cocktail.
  • If you'd like a salted rim, take a small plate and pour some coarse salt onto it. Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the martini glass to moisten it. Then, gently dip the moistened rim into the salt to coat it evenly.
  • In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, orange liqueur, freshly squeezed lime juice, olive brine, and orange juice.
  • Fill the shaker with ice and then securely close it. Shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to chill the ingredients and mix them thoroughly.
  • Strain the cocktail mixture into the chilled and salt-rimmed martini glass.
  • If desired, garnish your Mexican Martini with a lime wheel or twist and a few jalapeño slices for a spicy kick.
  • Serve your Mexican Martini immediately, and enjoy!
