Lance and Christina, bartenders at the Cedar Door in Austin, TX, show you how to make the original Cedar Door Mexican Martini, the Wiki Waki Woo, Sex with an Alligator, and a Michelada.

In December, 1975, Gus and Diane Koerner started paying the rent on a small bar called the Cedar Door. Located in the 500 block of West 15th, the Cedar Door soon attracted a distinguished clientele of journalists, politicians, lawyers, and businessmen.

good lesson. the instructions are easy to follow and the drinks look tasty (though I've only tried the mexican martini). I would like to have seen a wider variety of drinks, but overall it was a good video with good instruction.

I love to try different cocktails, I get sick of drinking the same thing all the time. I enjoyed all of the beverages on this video but the most enjoyable was the Wiki Waki Woo. We had a group of friends over for a BBQ and had each one bring one ingredient for this mixture. My husband mixed it together and we all enjoyed trying the shots. It's true, it does taste like fruit punch. If you are going to try this at home with a group of friends make sure you have a taxi service on speed dial to come and collect the guest at the end of the night!
