A classic, the margarita is still one of the best drinks to sip on during the summer and the simple recipe allows for many modifications depending on your taste. Traditionally known for its tequila kick, we made a delightful twist on this iconic cocktail with a non-alcoholic margarita recipe that will satisfy your summer cravings without the buzz.

Are Margaritas Still A Summertime Favorite? 

A margarita is a classic cocktail that originated in Mexico. It is typically made with tequila, orange liqueur (such as triple sec or Cointreau) and freshly squeezed lime juice. The combination of these ingredients creates a harmonious blend of sweet, tangy, and citrusy flavors that make margaritas so easy to drink. Margaritas are often served over ice in a salt-rimmed glass, adding a delightful touch of saltiness that balances the drink's acidity. 

Even though margaritas have been around for a long time, they’re still as trendy as ever with various recipes including the ever-popular Spicy Margarita featuring a kick of fresh jalapeno and the sweet Blood Orange Margarita with freshly squeezed blood orange juice. However, with many more choosing not to drink in social settings, mocktails margaritas are also gaining popularity. 

The Rise of Mocktails and CBD Drinks 

In recent years, the demand for non-alcoholic beverages has been on the rise. People are seeking alternatives that provide the same enjoyment and social experience as alcoholic drinks, but without the negative effects of alcohol. This shift has given birth to the rise of mocktails and CBD-infused drinks, offering a wide range of flavors and experiences for non-drinkers. 

Mocktails, or alcohol-free cocktails, have become increasingly popular as they cater to individuals who prefer to avoid or limit their alcohol intake. Mocktails allow everyone to partake in the celebration and enjoy a flavorful, sophisticated beverage. On the other hand, CBD-infused drinks have gained attention for their potential relaxation and wellness benefits. The inclusion of CBD in mocktails adds a new dimension, creating a calming and refreshing experience that helps you unwind and destress. 

Mocktails Made With Sparkling Water + CBD 

Among the array of options for crafting mocktails and CBD-infused drinks, Day One Sparkling Water + CBD is the perfect complement to any mocktail recipe. Its effervescence and real fruit flavor adds the perfect amount of bubbles and flavor to this margarita recipe, while the benefits of 20 milligrams of CBD is just a bonus. Sparkling water infused with CBD offers a unique twist to traditional margaritas, providing a relaxing and flavorful experience.
