Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup water

Chile-lime powder (recommended: Tajin), or salt
2 cucumbers, peeled, thinly sliced
4 cups water
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 cup vodka
Ice

Steps:

  • In small saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil over medium high-heat. Simmer until the sugar has dissolved completely. Set aside to cool.

These are a bit labor intensive but worth it. Fresh limes and a good lime squeezer are a must.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right tequila is key to a great Mexican Martini. Look for a reposado or añejo tequila, which have been aged for a minimum of two months and one year, respectively. These tequilas will have a smoother, more complex flavor than blanco tequila, which is unaged.
  • Fresh lime juice is a must for Mexican Martinis. Bottled lime juice will not give you the same bright, citrusy flavor.
  • If you don't have orange liqueur, you can substitute Cointreau or Grand Marnier.
  • Feel free to experiment with different garnishes for your Mexican Martini. A lime wedge is classic, but you could also try an orange twist, a cinnamon stick, or a sprig of mint.
  • For a sweeter Mexican Martini, add a splash of simple syrup or agave nectar.

Conclusion:

The Mexican Martini is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its combination of tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave nectar, it is sure to please even the most discerning palate. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make cocktail, give the Mexican Martini a try. You won't be disappointed!
