How to Make the Perfect Mexican Martini

A sophisticated, savory twist on the classic margarita, the Mexican Martini blends the bold flavors of Casa Loco Reposado Tequila, fresh lime juice, and orange liqueur with the unexpected briny kick of olive juice. This cocktail is perfect for those who love a balanced mix of citrus, smooth tequila, and a touch of saltiness, creating a refined yet flavorful drink that’s great for any occasion.

Mexican Martini Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Casa Loco Reposado Tequila
• 1 oz Fresh lime juice
• 1 oz Orange liqueur
• 1/2 oz Olive brine
• Salt (for the rim, optional)
• Ice
• Green olive (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Glass: If desired, rim a chilled martini glass with salt for an extra layer of flavor.
2. Shake It Up: In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, and olive brine with ice.
3. Strain & Serve: Shake well and strain into the prepared martini glass for a smooth, chilled pour.
4. Garnish & Enjoy: Drop in a green olive for a classic, elegant finish.

Why the Mexican Martini Stands Out

✔ A Margarita with a Twist – Like a martini-meets-margarita, but bolder and more complex.
✔ Savory & Refreshing – The olive brine adds a unique, salty depth that enhances the citrus and tequila notes.
✔ Reposado Elevation – Aged Casa Loco Reposado brings a smooth, slightly oaky depth, making this cocktail truly special.
