Citrus Splash Margarita Mocktail
Bright. Bubbly. Booze-free. This fresh take on the classic margarita blends zesty lime, juicy orange, and a splash of grapefruit for a tangy twist, lightly sweetened with agave and topped with lime sparkling water for that fizzy finish. Whether you go "no tequila" or opt for a splash of the zero-proof stuff, this mocktail brings all the margarita magic—minus the next-day regret. Salt rim optional, good vibes guaranteed.
Equipment
- 1 Shaker
Ingredients
- 2 oz lime juice freshly squeezed or bottled
- 2 oz grapefruit juice optional, see note 1
- 2 oz orange juice freshly squeezed or bottled
- 8 oz lime sparkling water see note 2
- 1 oz agave syrup see note 3 for alternatives
- 2 oz alcohol free tequila optional - tastes great without!
- fresh lime to garnish
Instructions
Salt Rim
- Place the salt in a shallow dish, then run a lime wedge around the outside of your glass.
- Dip the rim into the salt and then tap the glass gently to remove the excess.
Margarita
- Place lime juice, orange juice, grapefruit juice (optional), non-alcoholic tequila (optional) and agave into a shaker with 3-4 cubes of ice.
- Shake for 15-20 seconds then strain into your glass over fresh ice
- Garnish with fresh lime and serve.
Notes
- You can replace the grapefruit juice with orange juice if you prefer.
- The lime sparkling water can be replaced with Limeaid, or any other lemon or lime sparkling water.
- I prefer agave because this is what is used in traditional margaritas, but you can replace this with your choice of sweetener if you wish.
