Mexican Martini
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 3 ounces Reposado Tequila (or 2 "big jiggers" full)
- 1.5 ounces Cointreau (or 1 "big jigger" full)
- 1.5 ounces fresh-squeezed lime juice (or 1 "big jigger" full)
- .5 ounce martini olive brine juice (from the jar) (about 1/2 "small jigger" full)
- .3 ounces fresh-squeezed orange juice (a little less than 1/2 "small jigger" full)
- salt, for serving on the rim
- fresh lime wedges, for serving
- martini olives, for serving
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker full of ice. Add the tequila, cointreau, lime juice, olive brine, and orange juice. Close, seal and shake until very cold.
- Salt the rim of just half of 2 martini glasses. Pour the martini into the glass. Serve with a wedge of lime and a few olives on a toothpick or cocktail pick.
Notes
If you have a double-sided jigger, please keep in mind that not all jiggers are the same serving size, which is why I have also provided the ounces! My jigger is 1.5 ounces (on the "big jigger" side) and 1 ounce on the "small jigger" side.
