Virgin Margarita (Zero-Proof Margarita)

Fresh lime and orange juice make a bright virgin margarita with agave, a salted rim, and optional sparkling water.

⏱ 10 min🍹 4 servings🌈 Easy joy

This virgin margarita is tart, citrusy, and built for a proper salted rim. Fresh lime gives it the familiar margarita snap; orange juice softens the edges, and agave ties the flavors together. Serve it still over ice or add sparkling water for a lighter, bubbly finish.

Rim the glass cleanly

Rub a lime wedge around only the outside edge of each glass, then dip that edge into coarse salt. This keeps the first sip bright without making the whole drink salty.
