The ‘90s are back - in clothing and, apparently, bars. But fashion’s turn toward mom jeans, plaid miniskirts and denim overalls might be. Was the combined power of the young superstar and the veteran comedian enough to launch a thousand espresso martinis? Other than the ingredients below, you’ll need a cocktail shaker and a 2 sided jigger.Why? Some Internet sleuthing has revealed a picture of odd couple Timothée Chalamet and Larry David drinking espresso martinis together in New York after the Met Gala in September.
#FASHION LOVE AND MARTINIS HOW TO#
If you haven’t already, be sure to check out these other great tequila cocktails: Clayton’s Margarita and How to make a Ranch Water. So pour yourself a stiff one, sit back, relax and enjoy! Okay, those are the essential notes for a premier Mexican Martini, and I wouldn’t want any of you to settle for less than perfection. I don’t know what it is, but I swear it just doesn’t taste right if it’s not in the proper glassware. You gotta serve the drink in a coupe or martini glass.These are easily found in the olive/pickle section of most grocery and liquor stores! Even though the pimento-stuffed olives look the same, they just have a little bit of a different flavor which does impact the quality of the drink. Yep, this also makes a big difference in the finish of the drink. Martini Olives are ALSO a non-negotiable.
Not trying to be feisty here, but I know from experience. I’ve also used a dash of orange juice from a container before in a Mexican Martini and it totally ruined it and it tasted like straight-up orange juice. If you dare to buy that fake lime juice in the pantry section of the grocery store I will NOT be okay with it.
#FASHION LOVE AND MARTINIS TRIAL#
🙂Īfter you decide whether or not to share, another thing to take into consideration when making a Mexican Martini - and I have learned this through trial and error - are the ingredients you select.
You can decide if it is all for you or if you are feeling inclined to share with a friend. So, if you want to do it the authentic Austin way, this drink serves one 😉 but, technically, it makes 2 drinks. Those are good, don’t get me wrong, and really more of the original spots to go get one but my favorites around town are the ones that taste a little more like a stiff margarita, with a twist of olive brine which, essentially, is what I have tried to replicate here.Īnother fun thing about this drink in Austin is that they serve you the Mexican Martini along with the shaker. Some are on the sweeter side and are said to be sweetened with a little Sprite (I am thinking of Cedar Door and Trudy’s here). Some of my most fond memories involve me patio sippin’ under the Texas sun.ĭepending on where you order a Mexican Martini, the flavors vary a bit. My favorite Austin patio to enjoy them? Perlas! I loved to go there for happy hour and people watch while eating appetizers and sipping a Mexican Martini. When I lived in Austin years ago, I was a Mexican Martini drinking machine. Just a very straight forward, spirit-centered cocktail. The Mexican Martini is merely just a strong margarita on the rocks, but I love the touch of salty, brine-y olive juice, and the fact that it doesn’t have any sugar added to it. It’s one of the most popular Austin drinks and for good reason - it’s absolutely delicious. Ha! If you are from Austin or have frequently visited, you know EXACTLY what the “ Mexican Martini” is. Austin, Texas has officially made its way to Dallas.
