MEXICAN MARTINI



Mexican Martini image

Originally the Mexican Martini was just a large margarita in Austin, Tex. But the presentation calls for the margarita to be served in a martini glass, with olives on a spear. Because it is about twice as large as a regular drink, customers are usually given the cocktail shaker and invited to pour it themselves.

AUSTIN MARGARITA (AKA MEXICAN MARTINI)



Austin Margarita (aka Mexican Martini) image

After living in Austin Texas for 10 years, my husband and I perfected the perfect margarita. The secret to success is fresh fruit juice only and it doesn't use any pre-made mixes! Don't skimp and try buying juice. Squeeze it yourself or you won't get the best taste! If you are a real olive lover, add pimento stuffed olives and call it a 'Mexican martini'...delicious! and you won't confuse yours with anyone else's if you add 3 olives on a stirrer. :)

Categories     beverage

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Chocolate Chipotle Powder, recipe follows
1 1/2 ounces dark chocolate liqueur
1 1/2 ounces chocolate vodka
1 1/2 ounces tequila (preferable 100 percent agave reposado)
1 1/2 coffee flavor liqueur (recommended: Kahlua)
2 tablespoons high quality cocoa powder
1 tablespoon ground chipotle (dried, smoked jalapenos)
1 tablespoon ground pepitas (toasted pumpkin seeds)

Steps:

  • Spread the Chocolate Chipotle Powder out on a large plate. Rim 2 (8-ounce) martini glasses by rolling the edge of each glass on a clean wet sponge, then rolling the edge over the powder. Tap the glass gently to knock off the extra powder. Pour the rest of the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is frosty. Strain immediately into the glasses and serve.
  • Fold the ingredients together slowly and carefully so as not to knock the powder into the air as the chipotle powder can burn your nose and eyes.

MEXICAN CHOCOLATE MARTINI

An exquisite after-dinner cocktail. Potent and spicy notes going down with a nice long, cooling dark chocolate finish. Styled after some Mexican chocolate cupcakes I adore, and the more traditional Mexican hot chocolate. The key to any great martini is good liquor, use the best you have and you won't be disappointed.
