National Margarita Day – February 22

In honor of National Margarita Day, we tapped Carla Lorenzo of Hotel Figueroa's beverage program to learn about this classic cocktail. While the history of the margarita is clouded by urban legends, one thing remains the same: this cocktail never goes out of style.

Lorenzo whipped up her favorite version of the margarita at Sparrow, the newly lauded restaurant at Hotel Figueroa, invented by a San Francisco bartender in the 80s named "The Tommy Margarita."

Tommy's Margarita
2 oz. Tequila (blanco)
1 oz. Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
½ oz. Agave syrup (or equal parts lime and agave as Lorenzo suggested)

Pour ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake briefly. Strain into glass filled with ice. Garnish with a lime wheel. Sprinkle salt on the lime wheel.
