Non-Alcoholic Margarita Mocktail Recipe

This recipe is for one serving, but it’s easily scalable to make a batch for sharing.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz (60ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1 oz (30ml) agave nectar or simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 oz (30ml) fresh orange juice (optional, for added depth of flavor)
  • 4-6 oz (120-180ml) club soda or sparkling water
  • Coarse salt or Margarita salt for the rim
  • Ice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass: If desired, salt the rim of your glass. Run a lime wedge around the rim, then gently press the rim into a shallow dish of salt.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the fresh lime juice, agave nectar (or simple syrup), and fresh orange juice (if using).
  3. Add Ice: Fill the shaker with ice.
  4. Shake Well: Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds until well-chilled.
  5. Strain and Serve: Fill your prepared glass with fresh ice. Strain the mocktail mixture into the glass.
  6. Top with Soda: Top off the drink with club soda or sparkling water for a bit of fizz.
  7. Garnish: Garnish with a fresh lime wedge or wheel. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Mocktail

  • Fresh Lime Juice is Crucial: For the most authentic and vibrant flavor, always use freshly squeezed lime juice. Bottled juice lacks the same brightness.
  • Adjust Sweetness: The amount of agave nectar or simple syrup you need will depend on your preference and the tartness of your limes. Start with the recommended amount and add more to taste.
  • Experiment with Orange Juice: While optional, a splash of fresh orange juice adds a subtle sweetness and complexity that enhances the overall flavor.
  • Control the Fizz: Adjust the amount of club soda or sparkling water to your liking. For a less bubbly drink, use less soda.
  • Make a Batch: To make a larger batch, simply multiply the lime juice, sweetener, and orange juice (if using) by the number of servings you need. Mix well and keep chilled. Add the club soda just before serving to maintain its fizz.
  • Flavor Variations: Get creative by adding a few muddled berries or a splash of other fruit juices for a flavored Margarita mocktail.
