A twist on the classic margarita, with agave syrup rather than triple sec. Originally served at Tommy's Mexican restaurant in San Francisco and now a classic in its own right. 

Ingredients

• 50ml Herradura tequila

• Juice of half lime

• Agave nectar

Method

Served on the rocks

1. Cut a lime quarter and rub along the rim of the glass, hold the glass upside down and dust with salt. Or, pour salt onto a plate and place the glass upside down to cover the rim

2. Fill glass with ice and squeeze 1/2 lime

3. Stir through 50ml tequila and tablespoon of agave

4. Enjoy!
