Originating from the famous Tommy’s Mexican Restaurant in San Francisco in the 1990s, this cocktail simplifies the traditional recipe for a purer taste. We blend our organic Blanco with fresh lime juice and a hint of agave syrup, omitting the orange liqueur for a cleaner, more agave-forward profile. Perfect for those who appreciate the true essence of tequila, our Tommy’s Margarita offers a crisp, refreshing experience that’s both authentic and innovative.
