Review

Considering tequila is replacing vodka in this French Martini riff, you'd think that when it came to tequila, a blanco tequila would be best suited. However, having tried this and then reposado tequila, unexpectedly I found myself turning towards and favouring añejo as being best suited to this cocktail's tropical and berry fruitiness.

I agree with Michael that the Chambord is the most prominent flavor. I would have liked for the añejo to be a bit more prominent. I will try it again with 1/6 oz/5ml Chambord to see if it “offsets” the Chambord a little bit.

Many thanks for the feedback, Miquel. I thought I'd follow your recommendation but having tried I ended up going the other way to stay true to and build on the original French Martini.

Very interesting, in a good way. Not your typical martini, but definitely with a Mexican twist. Envisions being in Mexico and overlooking the water. Perfect with a Mexican food.
