Tommy's Margarita

Tommy's Margarita suits someone looking for sour, citrus and agave rather than a generic sweet cocktail. Its lean, light body makes it fairly approachable. Compared with Mexican Firing Squad, it leans toward a different balance. Its finish keeps the tequila base in view, even when the opening flavours feel more immediate. If you want to compare it, look next at Mexican Firing Squad; for food, the catalogue starts with Tacos and Ceviche.
