About the Mexican Martini
The Mexican Martini, Austin's unofficial signature cocktail, is a Margarita variation with a savory twist. Originating at the Cedar Door in the early 1980s, this drink combines tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, and green olive brine, blending the sweet and citrusy elements of a Margarita with the salty, earthy notes of a Dirty Martini.
Served in a Martini Glass and garnished with olives and a lime wedge, the Mexican Martini offers a unique balance of flavors. It has become a cult favorite in Austin, Texas, where locals and visitors alike enjoy its playful and bold character.
