Print Recipe

A bright, crisp, and refreshing non-alcoholic margarita mocktail featuring fresh lime and orange juice, simple syrup, and a salted rim for a perfect party drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 2–3 limes)
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice (60 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup (30 ml), homemade or store-bought
  • 1/2 cup club soda or sparkling water (120 ml)
  • Coarse salt for rimming the glass
  • Ice cubes
  • Lime wedges for garnish and rimming the glass
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
  • Optional: orange slices for garnish
  • Optional: agave syrup as a natural sweetener alternative

Instructions

  1. Pour coarse salt onto a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass to moisten, then dip the rims carefully into the salt, twisting gently to coat evenly. Set aside.
  2. Squeeze fresh lime juice from about 2-3 limes (approximately 3 tablespoons). Juice 1/4 cup (60 ml) of fresh orange juice. Strain if you prefer pulp-free.
  3. In a pitcher or mixing bowl, combine the fresh lime juice, orange juice, and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of simple syrup. Stir well until the syrup is fully incorporated.
  4. Fill each prepared glass halfway with ice cubes. Pour the juice mixture over the ice, filling glasses about two-thirds full. Top each glass with 1/2 cup (120 ml) of chilled club soda or sparkling water.
  5. Stir gently to combine, then garnish with a lime wedge on the rim and a sprig of fresh mint if desired. Serve immediately for the best fizz and freshness.

Notes

Use coarse salt for the rim to add texture and authentic flavor. Freshly squeezed lime and orange juice provide the best taste. Stir gently after adding club soda to keep the fizz. Adjust sweetness by adding more simple syrup or agave syrup if desired. Prepare juice and syrup base up to 24 hours ahead and add soda and ice just before serving.
