Aguacates de Mexico, a margarita at Peso Bar

2547 Bagley St, Detroit; 313-974-6197; pesobardetroit.com

This is one of 20 margaritas designed by owner-manager Eddie Vargas and using the bar's house-brand super-smooth tequila, Cabresto. Co-owner Tony Lopez's family has an agave finca in Jalisco and gets the juice distilled into tequila there. Aguacates de Mexico features puréed avocado and Triple Sec, so it's creamy and silky, with none of that tequila gasoline essence. The red band of tajin (chili, lime, and salt) is placed around just one side of the glass, so you can change your experience from sip to sip. —Jane Slaughter
