zero proof cocktail

This non-alcoholic margarita is AMAZING! Made with jalapeño cilantro simple syrup, lime juice, tonic water, and zero alcohol.

A Really Good Non-Alcoholic Margarita

lime juice (about 3-4 limes)

jalapeño cilantro simple syrup

tonic water

water

sugar

cilantro

jalapeño, sliced into chunks

Tajin (affiliate link)

salt

To make the simple syrup

Bring the sugar, water, cilantro, and jalapeño to a low simmer in a small saucepan for about 5 minutes. You want the sugar to dissolve and some of the flavor of the cilantro and jalapeño to steep into the liquid. Strain out the cilantro and jalapeño, and reserve the syrup in a jar or small pitcher in the fridge for several weeks. I love having this on hand to throw fast, fun, easy drinks together!

For the Tajin rim

Mix the sugar, salt, and Tajin on a small plate. Brush a bit of lime juice or simple syrup on the side or rim of the glass and immediately dip it into the Tajin mixture so it sticks to the side or rim of the glass. Beautiful!

To make the NA margaritas

Throw a few ice cubes in the glass. For each marg, I typically use 1.5 ounces lime juice, 2 ounces simple syrup, and tonic water to taste. You can also use a shaker here to mix, or just pour it all into the glass and give it a gentle swish to stir. ENJOY YOUR MOMENT.

Lindsay, this is as good as a real margarita.  I halved the sugar in the syrup and still incredible.  Thank you so much!

Absolutely perfect recipe! Please keep the mocktail recipes coming!

On my second batch.  Love it.  Very refreshing.

Such a winner!! Add a couple jalepeno slices as floaters to the finished drink and it is summertime perfection 🍹 thanks for sharing this delicious NA go-to!

Thank you for posting NA drinks! I’m about to start my second batch of simple syrup. The whole family has been enjoying these!

So refreshing and satisfying, not to mention pretty. I love serving them to guests as much as I enjoy sitting down with one myself to enjoy on a warm afternoon.

I love a good cocktail and this fits the bill for when I don’t want alcohol—the tonic water is key to not making too sweet. We’ve taken to using the simple syrup and takin rim with our regular margs!

This was so good! I never thought to infuse the simple syrup with jalapeno and it was perfect!

We made this for dinner tonight and it was SO GOOD! And SO EASY!

INCREDIBLE. I was so skeptical of this. Not a big savory drink kinda gal, but I had the ingredients on hand so I gave it a try. Flavors are so complex! A little spicy, sweet, salty.  Amazing. Love that the simple syrup can be stored for a while for quick drink assembly!

Thank you so much for this NA margarita recipe! It was the perfect drink for honoring Jimmy Buffet's memory today.

Lovely websites and the contents is amazing and engaging food recipie content content.

I already had simple syrup from previous margarita making so I used that and lime juice with a la croix grape fruit and it hit the spot. Next time I'll grab a jalapeño from the grocery store to make the jalapeño simple syrup.

My friend served these tonight. Soooo delicious. Everyone loved them. The mild heat of the simple syrup was perfect. She used fresh limes from her Bearss lime tree.

This was delicious. I used normal simple syrup and 3/4 ounce and added liquid smoke and was really good. Even my husband who doesn't even like regular margaritas said it was really nice
