Tommy's Margarita
Tommy’s Margarita is a simple yet elegant twist on the classic margarita, crafted with just three key ingredients: 100% agave tequila, fresh lime juice, and agave nectar, blended with a touch of water to create a smooth, naturally sweet cocktail. Unlike traditional margaritas, Tommy’s omits orange liqueur, allowing the bold, earthy flavors of tequila and the tangy brightness of lime juice to take center stage, balanced by the rich sweetness of agave nectar. This minimalist approach highlights the purity of its ingredients, making Tommy’s Margarita a fresh, authentic, and modern take on a timeless favorite.
Equipment
- 1 Jigger
Ingredients
- 2 oz Tequila Dos Lunas Blanco
- 1 oz Lime Juice
- .5 oz Agave Nectar
- .5 oz Filtered Water
Instructions
- Make the Agave Syrup: In a small bowl or directly in the cocktail shaker, combine agave nectar with water. Use a bar spoon to stir vigorously or shake briefly in the shaker to fully incorporate the water and agave nectar, creating a smooth agave syrup. Set aside.
- Prepare the Glass: If you prefer a salted rim, pour salt onto a small plate. Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of a margarita glass. Gently press the moistened rim into the salt, twisting slightly to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
- Juice the Lime: Roll a fresh lime on the countertop to release its juices, then cut it in half. Use a citrus juicer or reamer to extract fresh lime juice. Measure with a jigger to ensure accuracy.
- Combine Ingredients in the Shaker: Add the tequila, lime juice, and agave syrup to the shaker.
- Add Ice and Shake: Fill the shaker with ice. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, until the shaker feels cold and frosty.
- Strain the Cocktail: Fill your prepared margarita glass with fresh ice. Use a strainer to pour the shaken mixture over the ice, ensuring a smooth, perfectly chilled cocktail.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel on the rim of the glass for a classic presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, perfectly balanced Tommy’s Margarita!
