Rob's Story
This pulls from the Tommy's Margarita approach, but with split citrus for more controlled acidity and better balance.
No orange liqueur - nothing to get in the way of the agave. Just a cleaner, sharper margarita that lets the tequila do the talking.
Fresh ice matters. A dirty pour kills texture and throws off dilution. Build it right, finish it clean.

Pro Tips
