Today we're going to explore a drink whose origins are only loosely Mexican — and which, even in today’s landscape of endless Martini riffs, doesn’t quite qualify as one. Naturally, that drink is called: The Mexican Martini. Joining us to do so is Mario Martinez, Dallas-based head mixologist for Travis Street Hospitality. Listen on (or read below) to discover Mario's Mexican Martini recipe — and don't forget to leave us a review wherever you get your podcasts!
