Mexican Martini

Ingredients

  1. Kosher salt
    1/2 lime, juiced, reserve rind for salt rim
    Ice
    2 ounces silver tequila, such as Milagro
    1 ounce Cointreau liqueur
    1 ounce orange juice
    1/2 ounce olive brine
    1-2 ounces Sprite
    1 jalapeño-stuffed olive

Directions

  1. Place salt in a plastic bowl wide enough to fit the rim of a martini glass. Rub the rim of the glass with a lime wedge. Then dip the glass into the bowl of salt to coat the rim. Set glass aside.
  2. To an ice-filled cocktail shaker, add tequila, Cointreau, orange juice, lime juice, and olive brine. Shake until thoroughly chilled. Pour into a martini glass, top off with Sprite, and garnish with jalapeño-stuffed olives.
