Method
Cocktail
Prepare the glass
Choose a chilled rocks or coupe glass. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass to moisten it. Spread the black lava salt evenly on a small plate and dip the rim into the salt so it adheres; rotate to coat about half to three-quarters of the rim depending on preference. Set the glass aside.
Mix
Fill a cocktail shaker with a generous amount of ice. Add 2 oz Patrón Añejo, 0.75 oz amaretto, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice and 0.25 oz agave syrup (optional, only if you prefer slightly sweeter balance).
Shake
Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for about 12–15 seconds, until the shaker is well-chilled and slightly frosted.
Garnish & serve
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately. The smoky/bitter note of the black salt contrasts with the sweet almond of the amaretto and the oak/vanilla of the Añejo for a balanced Kuro Ame Margarita.
