The Heat You've Been Waiting For. The Story Behind Our Spicy Tommy's Margarita.
Share
We're thrilled to introduce our first-ever cocktail in a bottle: the Spicy Tommy's Margarita. This isn't just a drink; it's a statement about what's possible when you combine uncompromising quality with the ultimate convenience.
But why a Tommy’s Margarita for our launch?
We could have started with a classic margarita, but we wanted to do something better. The Tommy's Margarita was created in the 1990s by the legendary bartender Julio Bermejo at Tommy’s Restaurant in San Francisco. He had a simple, revolutionary idea: to swap out the traditional orange liqueur for agave nectar. This single change transformed the cocktail, allowing the pure, clean flavors of high-quality tequila and fresh lime to truly shine.
For us, the choice was obvious. The Tommy’s is a purist's margarita. It focuses on the core ingredients, proving that when your tequila and lime are top-notch, you don't need to hide them. This is the perfect introduction to the Sorbo Cocktails philosophy: we take the best ingredients and turn them into a bottled cocktail that’s as delicious as it is effortless.
Flavour of the Fire: Our Custom Chilli Blend
A great spicy margarita isn't about setting your mouth on fire—it’s about a careful, intentional balance of heat and flavour. We've spent months perfecting our unique chili blend to deliver a kick that’s complex and deeply satisfying.
Our fiery infusion is crafted with:
-
Jalapeño: For that fresh, iconic, and bright green heat that every good spicy drink needs.
-
Ancho: Adding a rich, earthy, and smoky depth that creates a foundational layer of flavor.
-
Habanero: Bringing the serious, fruity heat that provides a vibrant kick without overpowering the other flavors.
-
Scotch Bonnet: We use just a touch of this powerful chili to add a final, intense, and tropical fruit finish that lingers beautifully on the palate.
Each chilli plays a vital role in creating a layered heat that builds with every sip, complementing the bright citrus and rich agave.
Delicious. Done.
This is a bar-quality cocktail, ready to pour. We've taken all the guesswork out of it, so you can enjoy a perfectly crafted, complex, and spicy margarita without any of the effort.
Whether you're hosting a party, relaxing with friends, or simply craving a delicious drink, just pour our Spicy Tommy's Margarita over ice.
