Tommy's Margarita

Margarita to the bone

Glass Old-fashioned
Method Shaken
Garnish lime wheel

Julio Bermejo's game-changing Margarita strips away triple sec in favor of agave syrup, letting 100% agave tequila speak for itself. Clean, punchy, and pure. (Bermejo's original uses 1/2 oz agave; the IBA spec calls for 1 oz.)

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Tequila
  • 1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1/2 oz Agave Syrup

Method

Add tequila, lime juice, and agave syrup to a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously until well chilled. Strain into an old fashioned glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a lime wheel.
