Tommy Margarita Simple Recipe

The Tommy's Margarita is a simple and delicious variation of the classic margarita cocktail. It's known for its purity, as it omits the orange liqueur found in a traditional margarita in favor of agave nectar. Here's a detailed recipe for a Tommy's Margarita:

Ingredients:

• 2 oz (60 ml) 100% agave tequila
• 1 oz (30 ml) freshly squeezed lime juice
• 0.75 oz (22 ml) agave nectar (adjust to taste)
• Ice
• Lime wheel or wedge for garnish (optional)
• Kosher salt (optional, for rimming the glass)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Glass (Optional):

If you prefer a salted rim, take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of your glass.

Dip the rim into a plate filled with kosher salt to coat the rim. Set aside.

2. Shake the Ingredients:

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.

Add 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of freshly squeezed lime juice, and 0.75 oz of agave nectar to the shaker.

3. Shake It Up:

Put the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This will thoroughly chill the ingredients and mix them well.

4. Strain into Glass:

If you rimmed the glass with salt, strain the margarita mixture into the prepared glass.

If not, you can strain it into an old-fashioned glass or a margarita glass without the salted rim.

5. Garnish (Optional):

You can garnish your Tommy's Margarita with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim of the glass.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

Serve your Tommy's Margarita immediately while it's cold and refreshing.

This recipe yields a balanced and slightly sweet margarita that allows the flavor of the tequila and the brightness of the lime to shine through. You can adjust the amount of agave nectar to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy responsibly!
