Anyone have a good recipe for mexican martinis?

3 parts tequila (I like anejo for martinis)
1.5 parts key lime juice (if you use juice from the big ones, you'll need to add a few drops of simple syrup to taste)
1.5 parts of orange liqueur

Shake w ice. Strain into martini glass w salted rim. Top w two toothpicked olives and a few drops of olive juice/brine floated on top.

Take for favorite margarita recipe, and serve it up, not on ice. Your friends may say that it tastes just like a margarita, and that is because it is.

that works too. for margaritas, I don't use orange liqueur, just simple syrup. I also dilute with 1 part light lager and of course no olives.

but that is just preference. minus the olives and stemware, it is the same drink.

i would like to know what's in the one at Trudy's in Austin...

The Martinez from Perini Ranch in Buffalo Gap

salted rim
over ice
2 parts tequila
1 part triple sec
1 part pickled jalapeno juice
the jap juice adds some bite

then they include a Dos XX that you chase it with

WTF, that Trudy's recipe is the EXACT recipe I developed as my "lazy man's margarita." Copycats!

It is pretty tasty, though.

I love Trudy's man. May have to give that a try at home.

Add some olive juice to the recipe linked on that food website and you have The exact taste of Trudy's without having a two hacker limit

I've been using that Trudy's recipe for about two years now. Tasty stuff.

this is just a jalapeno margarita. nothing martini about it.

That's what a Mexican martini is

No olives, no olive juice?

Tequila, lime, and sugar makes a classic daiquiri with tequila. A margarita is defined by the use of Orange liqueur.

The basic margarita recipe is 2-1-1 parts of Tequila (I prefer blanco), Cointreau, and lime juice. A dash of simple syrup or agave nectar to taste for sweetness is preferred.

As posted above, to make it a Martini, shake it with ice and strain into a martini glass. It is still a margarita but has much less ice dilution. Then a few olives and you're done

Fair enough... I will be sure to correct any party guests when they ask me to make them another "margarita."
