Texas Martini

It's difficult to find a good Texas Martini. It's basically a mix of a Margarita and a Martini.
I happen to like them and I always have to tell the bartenders how to make them. I know they're not for everyone. You can also add a few slices of Jalapeños instead of the Lime Slice.

An example of a great Martini that I had in Rosemary Beach, Florida
