Spicy Pickle Margarita Mocktail
If you’ve ever reached for an extra pickle spear with your burger or found yourself sipping the pickle juice straight from the jar (no judgment here), this Spicy Pickle Margarita Mocktail was made for you.
Ingredients
- 2 oz non-alcoholic tequila
- 1 oz spicy pickle juice
- ¾ oz fresh lime juice
- ½ oz simple syrup
- 2-3 dashes non-alcoholic bitters
- dill pickle seasoning or salt, for the rim
- ice
Instructions
- Run a lime wedge around half the rim of your glass, then dip it into pickle salt or dill pickle seasoning.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the non-alcoholic tequila, pickle juice, lime juice, simple syrup, and orange bitters.
- Shake well until everything is icy cold.
- Strain into your prepared glass over fresh ice and pile on the garnishes.
Notes
- Not all pickle brines are created equal! Some are sweeter, some are much saltier, and some bring a serious kick of heat. If you’re using a particularly salty pickle juice, you may want to dial back the pickle salt on the rim.
- Like it spicy? Add a few jalapeño slices to your cocktail shaker before shaking.
