The Tommy’s Margarita is perhaps the most famous twist on the classic Tequila cocktail. Created by Julio Berjemo at his parents’ restaurant in San Francisco - Tommy’s, Julio replaced the traditional triple sec or orange liqueur of a classic Margarita with agave nectar, a syrup derived from the same plant that makes tequila. This alcohol-free version replaces tequila with Lyre’s Agave Blanco.
