Virgin Margarita
My virgin margarita cocktail recipe is an absolute winner if you love the flavors of authentic margaritas but want to skip the alcohol. It includes just 5 ingredients, like simple syrup and sparkling water, and makes a perfect non-alcoholic party mocktail that's deliciously sour and not too sweet, with a classic salt rim and slice of fresh lime, of course!

Ingredients
- 2 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 ounces orange juice
- 2 ounces simple syrup
- 2-4 ounces lime flavored sparkling water or club soda

Instructions
- Optional Margarita Garnish: If you want salt rims on your glasses, pour a tablespoon of additional simple syrup on a shallow plate. Dip the top rim of the glass in the simple syrup, then dip it in margarita salt. Set aside.
- Fill the glass halfway full of ice. Add the freshly squeezed lime juice, orange juice, simple syrup, and 2 ounces of lime-flavored sparkling water. Stir well to combine. If needed, add an additional ounce or two of sparkling water to top off the glass.
- Garnish with a lime slice or wedge and serve immediately!

Notes
Make fruity margarita variations by mashing fresh berries, mango, or pineapple chunks into the ice before mixing the liquid ingredients.
