The Original Asskicker from The Nugget

I've gone back more times than I care to admit to have another Asskicker.  I did realize that I never really went over the original margarita before, so I thought it warranted another post.

The last time I grabbed an Asskicker I took it to see the new bridge and the new show at Bruka.  The original margarita has a great taste, though I would choose Pancho & Willie's over it.

Hey, you think if I went to Pancho & Willie's with my Asskicker bottle, they'd fill it up?

No?

Well okay then.

I'd still pick the Asskicker as the official state drink of  Nevada right now, both because of the taste and the experience you get with it.

The Asskicker from The Little Nugget

I hate dives.

Whew.  There.  I said it.

I hate dives.  I hate sticky floors, "well" drinks that are anything but, and dirty bathrooms.  I don't like having to wonder what else is in my drink besides booze.

That being said, there are exceptions to this rule.  I love Gold N Silver, and now that I've been, I've also become fond of The Little Nugget.

I know, I know...I'm a terrible local for having never been there.  I've still never had an Awful Awful, but I did want to have an Asskicker as soon as I saw that it came with a souvenir sports bottle.  Plus a drink called the ass kicker, I had to be like "challenge accepted."

I should have gotten the original, which is to the right in the photo and is a delightful margarita.  Instead I decided to turn my tongue blue with a raspberry vodka.  It was slushy, didn't taste that strong, and was delightful.  I only finished about as much as you see in the photo that night, then I took it home to throw in my freezer to finish it the next day.  Yep, it kicked my ass that much, and I ain't even mad at it.

It's totally worth the $8 price tag, although mine was actually purchased by my friend Ryan Kelly, who is acting in The Shape of Things at Bruka this week.  It's an amazing love story with a hellva twist, and you should purchase tickets right away, as it closes at the end of the month.

I think the Asskicker should be a major contender for the official state drink.  The experience of the divey casino and the strongness (and tastiness) of the drink makes for an original experience that you can't get in another state.
