For those of you who don’t like margaritas because the sweet and sour makes your teeth squeak, have we got a discovery for you: agave nectar.

At a Partida Tequila tasting at Lola this week, we got to sample Partida’s 100 percent organic agave nectar — clean-tasting, sweet, not as cloying as honey, available at speciality grocers like Whole Foods, and absolutely delicious in a marg. Just sample the recipe on the next page:

Partida Agave Nectar Margarita
1-1/2 ounces Tequila
1 ounce fresh squeezed lime juice (juice of one lime)
3/4 ounce Agave nectar (to taste)
4/5 ounce pure water

Shake all ingredients with ice in shaker. Serve in glass on rocks. No garnish, no salt.

No complaints.
