How to Make a Matador Martini
Planning to conduct a warm weather party? Then you might be definitely looking for a fruity, colorful and appetizing cocktail as hot summer days usually scream for refreshing drinks. Matador Martini, also referred as Tequila Matador, is one of the best cocktails in this regard as it is an amazing tequila-based festive cocktail to rock the spring and summer celebrations or get-togethers. It is a nice blend of five very easily available ingredients like Tequila, Triple sec, salt, Red Bull (energy Drink) and limeade. The pulsating yellow color of the Matador Martini automatically stimulates your taste buds. Garnishing with some fresh fruit slices or fresh mint leaves is a superb idea to make it more attractive.
