CLASSIC · TEQUILA BLANCO 100% AGAVE

Tommy's Margarita

A purist's margarita created by Julio Bermejo at Tommy's Mexican Restaurant in San Francisco, stripping away the orange liqueur in favour of agave nectar to let the tequila and lime speak for themselves.

From the Bartender

Tommy's omits orange liqueur entirely, making agave nectar the sole sweetener - this keeps the cocktail gluten-free and showcases the terroir of the tequila. Always use 100% agave tequila; mixto will muddy the clean agave-lime harmony.

Bright and tangy citrus from fresh lime leads the way, layered with smooth agave warmth and the rich, sophisticated orange sweetness of Grand Marnier. A salted rim ties it all together with a savory finish that keeps every sip balanced and refreshing.

Honeysuckle Daiquiri

Fragrant honey and bright citrus weave through a clean, grassy rum backbone, with lemon providing a crisp sour lift and orange juice rounding out the edges into something soft and floral. Refreshing and medium-sweet, with an elegant, almost perfumed finish.

Bright and refreshing with vibrant citrus sweetness from fresh orange juice, a clean agave backbone from the blanco tequila, and a lush pomegranate-cherry sweetness from the grenadine that lingers on the finish.
