HOW TO MAKE A TOMMY'S MARGARITA
hello i am a hidden space!
Tommy's Margarita is a modern twist on the classic Margarita, celebrated for its simplicity and emphasis on the pure flavours of tequila. Originating in the 1990s at Tommy's Mexican Restaurant in San Francisco, it was crafted by Julio Bermejo, the bar manager. Unlike traditional Margaritas that use triple sec or orange liqueur, Tommy's Margarita features a minimalist blend of just three ingredients: 100% agave tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice, and agave nectar as a sweetener. This refreshing concoction became an instant hit for its ability to showcase the agave spirit's character without the distraction of other citrus liqueurs. Tommy's Margarita has since become a beloved contemporary classic, celebrated for its purity, balance, and the innovation it brought to the world of tequila-based cocktails.
