History
Tommy's Margarita was created by Julio Bermejo at his family's restaurant, Tommy's, in San Francisco in the late 1980s and 90s. By replacing orange liqueur with agave nectar, he made a Margarita that showcased the character of 100%-agave tequila — a recipe that became a global template for the modern agave cocktail.
