Tommy's Margarita

Tequila, lime and agave nectar make an orange-liqueur-free Margarita style served on fresh ice. This adaptation follows the current IBA measure for agave nectar; sweetness varies noticeably among nectar brands.

Tommy's Margarita served in a rocks glass with a lime slice against a black background.
