History

Created in December 2009 by Alan Brown of Menzel's Bar, who says of this drink, "Over the busy festive period, feeling full of flu and cold I decided to make a hot toddy to soothe my symptoms. Having no honey to hand I tried using agave nectar instead. This led me to the idea of using tequila and lime instead of lemon (to complement the tequila) with the agave and boiling water. The name for the drink is a Hot Tommy, a nod to the Tommy's Margarita, which makes use of both tequila and agave."

Review

A Mexican twist on the original winter pick-me-up.

Comments & Discussion

Chris Dimal
Pretty nice, much better than you would expect. However, please go for a Reposado Tequila which is 100% agave and not diffuser made. Was bang on with Olmeca Altos Reposado, with cooked agave and quite sour lime and agave sweetness further holding the Tequila up.
