However, it appears the tweet may have just been a reposting of video from last Juneteenth.

She declared the day "Oscar Goodman Martini Day in the city of Las Vegas and ask all residents to join me in recognizing Oscar and this festive occasion."
In the video, the "martini" recipe was just gin shaken with ice with a jalapeño added.
