Mexican Martini

I was first introduced to the Mexican Martini at Trudy's in Austin, Texas.

Since then, I've been a die hard fan of the Margarita's more complex big sister, plus I adore that it comes garnished with olives instead of limes. Top that off with the fact that it's served straight up and is accompanied by an almost-full shaker, and you've got a drink made in heaven.

Special thanks to friend edbrannan for his own personal recipe and hand modeling.

Step 1: Ingredients

• 2 oz. Tequila - Use a good silver tequila
• 1 1/2 oz. Orange Liqueur (i,e. Cointreau or Grand Marnier)
• 2 oz. Margarita mix (opt. Use for a sweeter finish, otherwise omit)
• 1 oz. Fresh Lime Juice
• 1 oz. Orange Juice
• 1 splash Sprite
• Ice
• Jalapeno stuffed olives!

 This is also known as a "Black Whip" in some parts. I've been bartending for around 5 years and that is what it's known as around here in the Houston/Galveston area.  Personally I'd prefer a nice snifter of Grand Marnier by itself. Very Nicely done instructable.

Loose definition of martini but hey looks like it will taste like fun. There was a sushi joint in PDX that had a saketini. Chef Obi drank a lot of them.

Gin or vodka, nice sake, cucumber slice peeled or partly peeled. Somehow the cucumber releases its flavor creating a beautiful infusion. So very simple a cocktail the martini. Try this version! Then........

Cucumber soap for the hungover from saketini instructable.

Thanks-

Martini? Just because it is served in a Martini style glass doesn't mean it is one. Where is the Gin???

Is this non-alcoholic?

[Darmani]

I dont believe its not an alcoholic drink if it has TEQUILA & orange LIQUEUR, but well maybe somewhere in this world, those are not considered as alcohol.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz. Tequila - Use a good silver tequila
• 1 1/2 oz. Orange Liqueur (i,e. Cointreau or Grand Marnier)

I'll let you decide for yourself whether or not 3.5 oz of liquor is non-alcoholic or not.

most definitely not lol

I imagine this tastes very good. I like Plymouth Gin and a dash of Vermouth, shaken over ice.
