Like a good margarita, it\u2019s seriously tangy, not too sweet, and citrusy. Then it\u2019s got a hint of dry vermouth like a martini, and it\u2019s garnished with an olive. And don\u2019t forget that salt rim! It\u2019s the perfect unique cocktail to impress a load of guests, or down as you inhale a basket of chips. Here\u2019s how to make it!<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few tips on how to make a salt rim for this Mexican martini:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Spread the salt on a plate in an even layer.<\/li>\n<li>Take a lime wedge and cut a notch in the middle: then slide it around the rim of the glass. This perfectly moistens the glass rim without having to use your fingers!<\/li>\n<li>Tilt the glass in the salt so that only the outside edge goes into the salt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ingredients<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 \u00bd ounces Reposado (or tequila blanco)<\/li>\n<li>1 ounce Cointreau<\/li>\n<li>\u00be ounce Fresh Lime Juice<\/li>\n<li>\u00bc ounce Dry White Vermouth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Instructions<br \/>\nCut a notch in a lime wedge, then run the lime around the rim of a martini glass.
