Ok so let’s talk about a super fun drink, The Mexican Martini. A Mexican Martini is like a traditional martini, and a margarita had a baby. It uses tequila instead of vodka. It also includes lime juice, which is where that margarita taste comes in.
Then we include olive juice, which is traditional to a martini. Finally, we finish it with an orange liqueur, bringing back that tart margarita flavor. These don’t require a lot of effort. You throw all of the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with some ice and shake.
Trust me, you gotta try this drink.

@Judy, sounds good, thanks for the suggestion!
Not as boozy, but I like it as much as the 3-2-1-half margs I typically make. Thank you!
Thanks so much for your feedback, Scott!
