What is a Mock Margarita?
A Mock Margarita is a margarita cocktail that doesn’t have any alcohol added to it. It’s a non-alcoholic beverage. Sometimes you might like to enjoy the flavor of a margarita, but maybe it isn’t the right time for drinking alcohol. Or maybe you don’t drink alcohol. This is the recipe for that occasion.
How to make Mock Margaritas:
This recipe calls for blending thawed frozen lemonade and limeade concentrate with powdered sugar and ice. Then you’ll be freezing that mixture until it’s firm. 30 minutes before serving, you can take out the frozen mixture from your freezer. Then you’ll pour in a liter of club soda and stir the mixture until it becomes slushy.
To serve, you’ll pour the no-alcohol margarita mixture into salt rimmed glasses and garnish with lime wedges.
What is frozen lemonade or limeade concentrate?
Frozen lemonade and limeade concentrate can be found in the freezer aisle near the fruit. They come in 12-ounce cans. You’ll need one of each, and for this recipe you will let them thaw completely in the refrigerator or at room temperature before using.
You might consider serving these at a Mexican-themed party where you know you’ll have guests who don’t drink alcohol. They might be tempted by your classic tequila margaritas, and then they’ll be pleasantly surprised that you’re offering a non-alcoholic version as well.
Can this recipe be turned into classic margaritas with alcohol?
Yes! Just add in a cup of tequila to the lemon-lime mixture before freezing. You could also mix it in with the club soda, if you prefer.
