Virgin Margarita
for BC Living
January 13, 2022
I was looking at the pile of cold, crisp, clean snow that fell the other day, and wondering if I could make that into a cocktail. While feeling cold and dreaming of summer, inspiration came in the form of a slush-style margarita. If you miss that tequila zing in there, I saw on the internet someone suggested a splash of pickle juice, so maybe give that a try if you’re brave (I wasn’t).
INGREDIENTS
Juice of 2 limes
Juice of half a lemon
Juice of half an orange
Soda water
Lime wedge for garnish
Ice – cubed, crushed or snow
Salt for rim
1 oz simple syrup if you prefer sweeter (Optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
Line the glass with salt, if so desired.
Mix juice in separate glass together for 30 seconds.
Place chosen type of ice in the glass, then pour the juice over, and top with desired amount of soda water.
If you find it too tart, add more orange juice.
Garnish with lime wedge.
