The Mexican Drink Recipe Instructions


The Mexican Recipe Preparation & Instructions:

Pour 1.5 ounces (1 1/2 shots) of fine anejo Tequila, 0.5 ounces (1/2 shot) Midori, and sugar into cocktail glass and stir to help dissolve sugar. Add ice to fill glass, and then top off with juice squeezed from Key Limes and stir.

Can also be prepared as a martini.


The Mexican Recipe Information


The best that mexico has to offer in one glass- Key Limes, Anejo Tequila, and Midori Melon Liquor. Key limes are named after the keys but come from Mexico (where they are called Mexican Limes). Invented by Jasen "JT" Torres. Popular in southern california. Sparkling lime juice can be substituted for lime juice and sugar where available. Use your favorite Tequila, but I recommend one that is 100% Puro De Agave (which is the highest grade in Mexico) as opposed to 100% de Agave.
