The marg at Patzcuaro's was another textbook example of the white trash renditions we see all over town -- along the lines of the one at La Loma -- and it combined a sugary mix with well tequila to make it palatable.
The eatery practically forgoes tartness entirely, favoring sweet-and-sour mix to make the drink more quaffable, and the result is a syrupy candy-like cocktail, kissed with the essence of what almost tastes like pear nectar. Served in a heavy goblet rimmed with coarse salt, it came in just one size: jumbo.
That made the tequila go down easily -- but I had to stop after one for fear of a midday sugar crash followed by an epic hangover. Next time, I think I'll ask for a side of lime.
