Description
This virgin margarita recipe tastes as good as the real thing! Try the secret ingredient that makes this non-alcoholic mocktail so satisfying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ounce* fresh lime juice
- 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon maple syrup or simple syrup
- 1/8 teaspoon pickle juice (or more to taste)*
- 3 ounces tonic water
- For the garnish: Lime wheel
Instructions
- Cut a notch in a lime wedge, then run the lime around the rim of a glass. Dip the edge of the rim into a plate of flaky sea salt (or for a festive look, use Margarita Salt).
- In the serving glass, stir together the lime juice, lemon juice, maple syrup, and pickle juice. Add the tonic water and ice. Garnish with a lime wheel and serve.
Notes
*Pickle juice is the liquid from a pickle jar, and recommended for using in this recipe: it adds just the right funky flavor to mimic tequila. Olive juice also works in a pinch!
To convert to tablespoons, 1 ounce = 2 tablespoons.
