Mexican Martini

We’re big fans of olives

THE SPIRIT BEHIND IT

Austin gets credit for this one. Appearing on menus in the 1980s, the Mexican Martini is the city’s unofficial cocktail of choice. According to local favorite, The Cedar Door, the story goes a bartender visiting Mexico saw how Margaritas were served in Martini glasses. Back in Austin, olives were added as a garnish. Voilà, a new cocktail was born.

Pablo’s Tip

Try jalapeño-stuffed olives for a spicy kick.

Socorro Blanco — Pure. Vibrant. Uncompromising.

Socorro Tequila Blanco is crafted in the Highlands of Jalisco from 100% Blue Weber agave, slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens and double-distilled to preserve the natural character of the agave. The result is a clean, vibrant tequila with a smooth, balanced profile that’s perfect for sipping or cocktails.
