The Margarita Martini combines the best of both drinks in one!  It’s also called the Mexican Martini, and can be served in either a martini or a margarita glass.  This recipe is for a party – it makes enough for about 20 martinis!

Margarita Martini

Serves: about 20  Prep: 10 min

Ingredients

• 1 750 ml bottle silver tequila
• 2 cups Cointreau liqueur or triple sec
• I cup freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/4 cup freshly lime juice, to rim glasses
• coarse salt
• ice cubes

Directions:  Combine the bottle of tequila, 2 cups Cointreau and 1 cup lime juice in a large pitcher, at least 1/2 gallon.

Pour about remaining lime juice onto a saucer, and the salt onto another saucer for rimming the martini glasses.  Dip the rim of the glass in lime juice, then salt to rim the glasses.

For each drink, measure 2 oz of the tequila mixture into a cocktail shaker.  You can mix up to 3 martinis at a time, using 4 oz for 2 martinis and 6 oz for 3 martinis.  Add ice cubes, and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds.  Strain the chilled mixture into the salt rimmed martini glasses.
