Mexican Martini Recipe???

[Steve Childers]

Does anyone know of any good recipes for Mexican Martinis?

[W M Dave]

Last I tended bar (in San Francisco, although the statute of limitations
won't let me say where) a Mexican Martini was simply a Rita on the rocks
with Cointreau instead of triple sec, strained into a martini glass.

But the secret is to use real lime juice (preferably key lime) and simple
syrup. BTW, the best Mexican Martini I ever had was in San Francisco -
restaurant name I don't remember (see, those WERE good margaritas!)

I make a drink (similar to the "El Martini" at Cedar Street) with 3 parts
good tequila (I like Don Julio A~ejo) and 1 part Cointreau, shaken like a
martini, served in a martini glass with jalape~o stuffed olives and a
splash of olive "juice". Some of my friend call it a mexican martini,
some others call it a texas martini. I just call it a tequila martini..
:)
It's pretty good, give it shot!

If we knew what we were doing it would not be called research, would it?

That's kind of what I remember it being. I was either at Trudy's or TGIF's
several years ago and had one. I asked the bartender what was in it and it
sounded like what you describe but I could swear that he also mentioned
putting brandy in it. Almost like a margarita on the rocks but add brandy
and olive and a splash of olive juice. I just can't remember for sure so I
thought I'd ask.

Does anyone have a clue to what is in the Iron Cactus drink served at
The Iron Cactus on 6th street? I have to get me a few shakers and try
it out.
