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.

MEXICAN MARTINI

Mexican Martini image

This is a sweet, creamy martini style sipper. Patron XO Cafe is a coffee flavored liquor made with tequila. Really quite tasty. I got a bottle as a gift from a wonderful friend and have been trying out some different drinks. The original recipe called for half and half but I find that too heavy most of the time and I enjoyed it better with milk. Don't leave off the cinnamon sugar, it really adds to the flavor of the drink. (***** Zaar wouldn't let me just call it Patron XO Cafe so I had to call it coffee flavored tequila.) Cheers!!!

BEAUTIFUL BLUE VODKA MARTINI

Beautiful Blue Vodka Martini image

This is a BEAUTIFUL drink that I fell in love with at one of our local sports bars. This was only my 2nd Martini to ever try. I really like vodka and this one had vodka so I tried it. It is very pretty and at restaurants where I order it, everyone, including the servers remark on how pretty it is. It is BRIGHT blue. So even if you don't like it you'll enjoy looking at it! It is not real sweet so if you like sweet and don't like the taste of vodka then you might not like it. It's all alcohol so it only takes 2-3 at the most but it's a good party drink. Just be sure to sip it slowly! I really hope you like it. If you don't really like vodka martinis, please don't try it and hate it, and then give me a bad rating. I take my ratings very seriously. Thanks! Also, you can add a drop of Grenadine (red) at the end, which will drop to the bottom of the Martini glass and will look like a purple ball. Adds a nice, sweet, appetizing touch. This recipe makes enough for two or more martinis. Downsize for your needs.
