About the Tommy's Margarita
Tommy's Margarita is a modern variation of the classic Margarita created at Tommy's Mexican Restaurant in San Francisco. Instead of orange liqueur, it combines tequila with fresh lime juice and agave syrup. This simplified structure places greater emphasis on the flavor of the tequila while the agave syrup reinforces the spirit's natural agave character.
What does a Tommy's Margarita taste like?
Tommy's Margarita tastes bright, tart and distinctly agave-forward. Tequila provides earthy and vegetal agave notes, fresh lime contributes sharp citrus acidity and agave syrup supplies a rounded sweetness that integrates naturally with the spirit.
Tips for making a Tommy's Margarita
Use a good-quality tequila and freshly squeezed lime juice. Adjust the amount of agave syrup slightly according to the acidity of the lime. Shake thoroughly with ice and serve over fresh ice so the cocktail remains cold without becoming excessively diluted.
