Tommy'S Margarita Cocktail
Tommy’s Margarita is a simple, modern cocktail created with smooth reposado tequila, fresh lime juice and natural agave syrup, omitting triple sec for purity and balance. The agave sweetener complements the spirit’s roots, increasing its caramel notes without dominating the citrus taste, while the margarita bitters give a delicate herbal richness.

Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Reposado enhances the flavour profile with gentle oak and vanilla overtones. Avoid highly smoky or assertive tequilas, since they will overpower the drink’s smooth, citrus-forward character.
Preparation Tip 2
Fresh lime juice is essential because bottled versions taste bland and lack the sharp, zesty acidity that complement the sweetness of the drink.
