Description

Craving the zesty, vibrant flavors of a classic margarita without the alcohol? Look no further! This sparkling non-alcoholic margarita recipe is your new go-to for a refreshing and sophisticated drink that everyone can enjoy.

Ingredients
  • 60 ml Fresh Lime Juice (about 2 limes)
  • 30 ml Fresh Orange Juice (about 1/2 an orange)
  • 15 ml Agave Nectar
  • 120 ml Sparkling Water
  • Coarse Salt (for the rim)
  • Lime Wedge (to garnish)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Step 1: Prepare Your Glass

    Start by creating the classic salted rim. Take a lime wedge and wipe it around the entire rim of your serving glass. Pour a generous amount of coarse sea salt onto a small plate or into a shallow bowl. Dip the moistened rim of the glass into the salt, turning it gently to ensure it's evenly coated. Set your prepared glass aside.

  2. 2
    Step 2: Mix the Margarita Base

    In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the fresh lime juice, fresh orange juice, and agave nectar. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This chills the mixture and ensures the agave nectar is fully dissolved and blended with the citrus juices.

  3. 3
    Step 3: Strain and Serve

    Fill your salt-rimmed glass with fresh ice. Strain the chilled margarita mixture from the shaker into the glass over the ice.

  4. 4
    Step 4: Top with Bubbles & Garnish

    Top up the glass with the sparkling water, pouring it slowly to preserve the fizz. Give the drink a gentle stir with a bar spoon or straw. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge on the rim of the glass, and enjoy your refreshing mocktail immediately.
