Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this mocktail ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the margarita mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Just be sure to stir or shake it well before serving to ensure that the flavors are evenly distributed.
Can I use bottled lime juice instead of fresh lime juice?
While fresh lime juice is preferred for the best flavor, you can use bottled lime juice in a pinch. Just be sure to choose a high-quality, 100% lime juice without any added preservatives or sweeteners.
How can I make a virgin margarita look more festive?
To add a pop of color and festive flair to your mocktail, consider garnishing the glasses with a slice of fresh fruit (such as a lime wheel or orange wedge) or a sprig of fresh herbs (such as mint or cilantro).
