Tequini
The Mexican version of a martini is the TEQUINI, a tequila martini. It parallels the typical vodka or gin martini by using dry vermouth, but adds orange bitters for an extra accent. It also substitutes black olives for the more standard green olives. Instead of the rushed tequila shots of old, this is a way to savor a favorite silver tequila by sipping.
Requirements: Silver tequila (blanco), dry vermouth, orange bitters, black olives
- 3 oz. silver tequila blanco
- 1/3 oz. (2 tsp) dry vermouth
- 3 dashes orange bitters
- black olives
Add dry vermouth to an ice-filled glass and stir to distribute. The excess vermouth may then be poured out. Add tequila and bitters to shaker and stir to chill. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and add 1-3 black olives for garnish.
Comments: Most people stir the Tequini, but there’s really no reason it can’t be shaken either. My silver tequila preference in this drink is Herradura (Blanco).
