Enjoy Cedar Door's Mexican Martinis and avoid downtown traffic
"The Cedar Door has launched the home version of its famous Mexican martini. The iconic, thrice-moved bar, which says it originated the Mexican martini more than 25 years ago, has now put a critical ingredient in a bottle, the Mexican Martini Mix. You just add tequila, triple sec and a squeeze of lime to the sweet citrus-based mix and garnish the glass with green olives. Voila! You have a Mexican martini. 'This drink has been copied all over Austin and people are always asking us how to make it at home; now we can just hand them a bottle,' Potts says. The mix ($5.99) is available at the bar and Spec's. Potts says other retailers will be adding it in coming months." Read more »

Our Original Cedar Door Mexican Martini has won awards from the Austin Chronicle as well as Austin Citysearch!

The results are in! Check out what Wes Marshall from the Austin Chronicle says about about the bottled version of the Cedar Door Original Mexican Martini Mix:

"I live 30 miles from the Cedar Door, so it takes some dedication to get there. But I do, mainly to get my Mexican martini fix. Something very satisfying triggers in my brain when I see that icy shaker making its way to my table. And though I'm the biggest snob in the world about margaritas (the perfect version being 3 parts silver tequila-to-2 parts triple sec-to-1 part lime), somehow, when they call it a Mexican martini, I don't mind the simple syrup and orange juice. Those nice people at the Cedar Door have started selling their Mexican martini mix ($5.99 at Spec's or about 38 cents a dose). There are a couple of differences from the original Cedar Door recipe, the main one being they use citric acid and natural citrus oils instead of fresh juices. For the occasional drinker, this is a plus, because the shelf life will be much longer. Taste? Well, it comes darn close, so close that now I'm wondering where I can find those shakers."  Read more »
