A fresh and agave-based version of Margarita
Tommy's Margarita is a modern take on the classic Margarita, created by bartender Tommy's Mexican Restaurant in San Francisco. It differs from the traditional Margarita in that it uses agave syrup instead of syrup. This simple change gives the drink a more pure and natural sweetness that brings out the agave flavor from the tequila. Tommy's Margarita is a fresh, tart and delicious drink that has become a favorite in many bars around the world.
