Altos Blanco 🌵

Real Agave 🍯
THE ORIGIN STORY
"Tommy's Margarita was born at Tommy's Mexican Restaurant in San Francisco. Julio Bermejo swapped triple sec for pure blue agave nectar, and the cocktail world never looked back. MXTology uses Altos Blanco — the tequila Mexico's own bartenders choose — and real agave nectar. This is the margarita before it was watered down for mass market."
The Flavour Map
Three dimensions of a perfect Margarita.
Altos Blanco from Los Altos highlands. Naturally sweeter agave character, beloved by professional bartenders. The terroir shows in every sip.
No triple sec confusion. The agave speaks first. Bright citrus follows. Clean finish that doesn't linger into sweetness.
Chilled coupe. Salt rim optional. Lime wedge. Or straight from the pouch at the festival. Both are completely right.
Inside The Pouch
Four ingredients. Zero shortcuts.
Every ingredient chosen for a reason. Nothing that doesn't earn its place in a Tommy's.
The tequila Mexico's own bartenders choose. Clean, agave-forward, zero harshness.
Replaces triple sec with pure agave sweetness. More complex, more authentic.
Fresh lime locked at peak brightness. No heat treatment. The citrus stays alive.
Bartender-calibrated dilution. Not an afterthought. The ratio that makes it right.
The Activatable Cocktails™ Ritual
Open. Close. Shake. Pour.
Four steps. Thirty seconds. A better Tommy's than most bars will make you.
Chill the pouch in the fridge or a bucket of ice. A cold Tommy's is a better Tommy's.
Open the pouch — it expands, pulling in fresh air. Re-seal. The CitrusFresh™ wakes up.
Shake hard for 5 seconds. The citrus brightens. The agave integrates. This is your bartender moment.
Pour into a chilled coupe over ice. Salted rim. Fresh lime wedge if available. Or straight from the pouch. Both honourable.

The Fine Print, Made Friendly
Questions Tommy's Margarita fans actually ask.
What's Altos Blanco Tequila?
Altos Blanco is produced in the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco — the region known for producing agave with naturally higher sugar content and a more complex, fruity character. Patrón Spirits distributes it globally, and bartenders consistently rank it as one of the best value-for-quality tequilas available. It's the tequila that serious cocktail bars stock because it performs, not because of marketing spend.
Why no triple sec in a Tommy's Margarita?
Julio Bermejo's original insight was that triple sec — essentially orange-flavoured sugar — muddied the agave character. Blue agave nectar is sweeter than sugar but more complex, and it amplifies rather than masks the tequila. The result is a cleaner, more agave-forward Margarita that lets the spirit actually speak. Once you've tasted a Tommy's, a classic Margarita with triple sec tastes muddled by comparison.
How strong is it?
14.2% ABV. Approximately 1.5 standard drinks per 130ml pouch. A serious cocktail — the same strength you'd expect from a bar-built Tommy's Margarita. Not watered down. Not a mixer. A proper drink.
Salt rim or no salt rim?
Your call entirely. Julio Bermejo himself has been known to serve it without salt, arguing that the balance of agave and citrus doesn't need the rim. But if you want the full visual and flavour ritual — coarse salt on a chilled coupe — absolutely do it. The salt brings out the citrus. Both versions are correct Tommy's Margaritas.
What's an Activatable Cocktail™?
Open the pouch and it expands, pulling in fresh air. Re-seal. Shake for 5 seconds. The activation wakes up the CitrusFresh™ lime, integrates the agave, and gives you the same result as a bartender's shaker — without the bartender. Our patented pouch technology locks in freshness fresher than most bars can achieve. Once you've tried it, you'll understand why we patented it.
