Virgin Margarita
This Virgin Margarita Recipe has all the best flavors, and none of the alcohol, of a regular Margarita. There are so many seasons in life when you, or someone you know, might not want to drink alcohol, but you can still celebrate with a fabulous mocktail.

Ingredients
- kosher salt or Margarita salt, for rimming glass (see note 1)
- Lime wedges for garnish
- ice
- 1 cup lime juice (about 2 pounds limes or 14 medium lines)
- 1/2 cup lemon juice (about 12 ounces lemons or 2 large lemons)
- 1/4 cup orange juice (about 12 ounces oranges or 1 large orange)
- 1/4 cup simple syrup optional (see note 2)
- 16 ounces club soda or sparkling water, for topping
Instructions
- In a shallow dish as wide as your serving glass, add kosher salt (or Margarita salt) to 1/4-inch deep. Run a lime wedge around the top of each glass, then dip the top of each glass upside-down into the salt and turn to coat.
- In a glass pitcher, add lemon juice, lime juice, orange juice, and simple syrup. Stir to combine.
- Fill each rimmed glass about half full with ice. Add 4 ounces of the Margarita mixture and top with club soda. Garnish with a lime wedge.

Notes
- Margarita salt: Homemade margarita salt is fun to make when you’re feeling extra. Or, use kosher salt or even sugar.
- Simple syrup: To make it yourself, combine 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved (do not boil). Remove from heat and cool before adding 1 tablespoon (or more to taste) to your cocktail shaker with the other ingredients. Store leftover simple syrup covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 weeks.
- Yield: This recipe makes four non-alcoholic Margaritas.
- Glassware: A Margarita glass is the classic choice, but I love how approachable a lowball glass is for happy hour.
