NOTES

The cocktail was conceived in San Francisco in 1990 by Julio Bermejo at his parents’ restaurant called Tommy’s. Bermejo had been recently introduced to agave nectar as an ingredient, and, although it was still expensive at the time, he used it to enhance the a agave flavor of the cocktail instead of using orange liqueur to highlight the citrus flavor in the original Margarita recipe.
