Instructions
- Brush the rim of your glass with a little simple syrup (using a pastry brush or -- if it's your drink -- use your finger). Press the rim into a container of cocktail salt so that the salt adheres to the rim of the glass.
- In a glass measuring cup add the cara cara orange juice, lime juice and simple syrup. Stir to combine.
- Fill salt-rimmed glass with ice and add the orange juice mixture. Top with sparkling water and garnish with a lime or orange slice or a twist of lime or orange zest. Or both -- why not? Enjoy!
TO MAKE A PITCHER OF DRINKS:
- In a large pitcher (64 ounces) combine the fresh orange juice, lime juice and simple syrup. Stir together and refrigerate for 2 hours or until chilled.
- Just before serving, rim the glasses with simple syrup and dip into margarita salt. Fill glasses with ice.
- Add the chilled sparkling water to the pitcher and give it a quick stir. Pour virgin margaritas into prepared glasses.
TO MAKE PITCHER DRINKS ONE AT A TIME:
- If you want to pre-make a pitcher of drinks, combine the fresh juices and simple syrup in a pitcher and chill. Keep the pitcher covered and refrigerated for up to a week.
- Fill a glass with ice, add 4 ½ ounces of the citrus juice blend to the glass and add 3 ounces of sparkling water.
Notes
- Kids love these "fancy" margarita mocktails, especially with a garnish. Skip the salt rim for them.
