If you want to taste history tonight, I've already prepared the complete shopping list with all the ingredients. Now, the legend.
The Tommy's Margarita was invented in 1990 by Julio Bermejo at the family restaurant Tommy's Mexican in San Francisco. Bermejo, an ambassador of authentic 100% agave tequila, wanted to create a version of the Margarita that showcased the real character of quality tequila, replacing the industrial triple sec with pure agave syrup.
The result was so pure and faithful to the spirit that it revolutionized the way tequila is perceived in the U.S. Tommy's Mexican became a place of pilgrimage for tequila lovers, and Bermejo is often called "the father of the modern tequila movement." Today, Tommy's Margarita is on the IBA official list, considered by many the best existing interpretation of the Margarita.
Passion for cocktails is also an equipment affair. A well-chosen barman kit like this one on Amazon is perfect for starting out without compromising on quality. And for those with a real bartender's soul, a professional cocktail bar station is the piece of furniture that finally makes entertaining at home a well-oiled ritual.
