It does now!

Thanks Zachary!
Candy like sweet but pleasantly so. The gin is a little bit lost.
Stir, strain, straight up, coupe, garnish with flaming orange peel
Dayri,
Can you tell us more about the tincture? Is it a rum base and bittered?
Thanks,
Zachary
Combine the first 3 ingredients with ice, stir and strain into a chilled coupe. Float Smith and Cross onto the surface of the drink. Lemon peel garnish.
Made this tonight with Old Grand Dad 114 because that's the highest-proof bourbon I have. Love it!

This take on Tommy's Margarita -- which is a margarita that replaces triple sec with the more subtle agave nectar -- simply adds a touch of Angostura bitters to the mix. It seems like a minor modification, but a little bitters goes a long way.

I was discussing this idea of subbing Cointreau for agave syrup with a friend the other night, and I just don't understand the appeal - it's a tequila sour, which is fine and all that, but it's not a Margarita.
Thanks,
Zachary
I agree. I'm all for Jackson Cannon and what he has done for cocktails in the Kendall Square area of Boston, but this steps far enough away from a Margarita as to be a different drink. I Margarita is about the interplay of the pepper of the blanco, the fruit of the triple sec, and the sweet/sour balance of the liqueur and lime. Plus salt of course.
All Jackson did was add bitters. If there is a person to point fingers at, it's Tommy Bermujo who invented what is known now as Tommy's Margarita circa 1987/88 at his family's Mexican restaurant outside of San Francisco that was one of the first American spots to feature high quality tequilas. Tommy's goal was to showcase the beauty of craft agave distillates instead of hide them under an orange liqueur. This was back in an era when horrid mixto tequilas were the norm on bar shelves across the states.
Fred, you are usually bang-on with your history…but I thought this was a Julio Bermejo drink (named for the restaurant and his father).
Ginger what? Juice, syrup, liqueur ... ?
