**Tommys-Margarita - Mixed Drink** Meet the **Tommy's Margarita**, a modern classic **Mixed Drink** that simplifies the traditional margarita while highlighting the star ingredient: **Tequila**! Ditching the orange liqueur for pure, unadulterated agave goodness, this version focuses on the beautiful pairing of 100% agave reposado **Tequila** with bright, fresh **lime juice** and the natural sweetness of **agave syrup**. The result is a clean, crisp, and perfectly balanced **Sour** **Cocktail** with vibrant **Citrus** notes, **Shaken** to perfection and **Served Over Ice** in a **Rocks glass**. **Ingredients:** * 60 ml Tequila agave 100% reposado * 30 ml Fresh lime juice (Persiano) * 30 ml Agave syrup (1/2 water + 1/2 agave nectar) **Preparation:** 1. Prepare your glass: take a **Rocks glass**, and if you like, rim it with salt (optional for Tommy's, but a classic margarita touch!). Fill it with fresh ice cubes. 2. In a **cocktail shaker**, combine the 100% agave reposado **Tequila**, fresh lime juice, and agave syrup. 3. Add ice to the shaker. 4. **Shake well** until the shaker is nicely frosted. 5. **Strain** the mixture into your chilled **Rocks glass** filled with fresh ice. 6. Serve **On the rocks**. **Notes and Tips:** * Using *100% agave* **Tequila** is key to the Tommy's style, offering a purer agave flavor. Reposado adds a lovely subtle oak note. * Freshly squeezed lime juice is non-negotiable for that bright, zesty **Citrus** and **Sour** kick. * Making your own agave syrup (1:1 agave nectar and warm water) ensures it dissolves easily. * While traditionally served without salt on the rim, feel free to add a half-rim of flaky sea salt if that's your preference! * A simple lime wedge or wheel makes for a perfect garnish, emphasizing the drink's **Citrus** core. **History or Origin:** The Tommy's Margarita was created by Julio Bermejo at Tommy's Mexican Restaurant in San Francisco in the late 1980s. Frustrated by inconsistent or poor-quality triple sec often used in standard margaritas, he opted for the purity of agave nectar and high-quality 100% agave **Tequila**, letting those flavors shine. It quickly became a beloved variation among **Tequila** aficionados. **Visual Description:** Served **On the rocks** in a sturdy **Rocks glass**, the Tommy's Margarita typically has a soft, cloudy yellow-green tint from the lime and agave. It's crisp and clean, looking wonderfully refreshing piled high with ice. The simple elegance is often enhanced by a bright green lime wedge perched on the rim. **Conclusion:** If you appreciate the subtle complexities of **Tequila** and crave a **Sour**, citrusy drink that's perfectly **Sweetened**, the **Tommy's Margarita** is calling your name. It's a fantastic **Mixed Drink** for taco night, a sunny afternoon, or any time you want a beautifully balanced **Tequila Cocktail**. Mix one up and taste the difference!
