Tommy's Margarita, from the eponymous taqueria and tequileria in San Francisco, was created by Julio Bermejo and substitutes agave syrup for the traditional Cointreau.
You can use Ritual Zero Proof Tequila Alternative or Free Spirits Spirit of Tequila. Ritual has more fresh agave flavors, similar to a Blanco tequila, and a spicy kick. Free Spirits is mellower with vanilla and a hint of spice, more like a Reposado or Añejo. Either way, you can't go wrong.
