Asadero Margarita
Spirit-Based · 1 serving · Serve: Rocks glass (salt rim optional)
The Asadero Margarita is a signature cocktail from the Ballard Restaurant Asadero, known for its bold tequila flavor and perfect balance of sweet and sour. This margarita features a higher ratio of tequila to mixers than traditional recipes, creating a stronger, more spirit-forward cocktail that pairs perfectly with the restaurant's Mexican-inspired cuisine.
Ingredients
- 4 oz Tequila
- 2 oz Lime juice
- 1 oz Agave nectar
Directions
- If desired, rim a rocks glass with salt by rubbing a lime wedge around the rim and dipping in salt.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Add tequila, fresh lime juice, and agave nectar to the shaker.
- Shake vigorously until well-chilled, about 15 seconds.
- Strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice.
- Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge (optional).
Notes/Tips
It's worth mentioning that you want to look for really juicy limes. In general, paler green limes and those with yellow spots, as well as those with thin skin are juicier than darker-skinned limes or those with thicker skin. Medium/large limes seem to release their juice easier than small limes.
