I'm not really surprised by this finding, the non-alcoholic drinks market has exploded in the last few years giving consumers better choices. Thanks to the availability of alcohol-free spirits, virgin cocktails, or mocktails, can taste almost exactly like the drinks they're based on.
When it comes to non-alcoholic Margarita, there are multiple options to choose from. So, in honour of this year's World Margarita Day, here are my personal favourites.
Ms Sans Margarita
Tell me more: I made the Ms Sans mocktail range so, of course, Ms Sans Margarita is going to be at the top of my list. This Margarita comes pre-mixed with non-alcoholic tequila, so all you need to do is shake with ice and strain into a salt-rimmed glass.
Worth noting: Made with no added sugar and low in calories (18 calories per 100mls).
What you need: A cocktail shaker, salt for your glass and some fresh lime to garnish.
Try this: Ms Sans Margarita Champagne Mocktail
What customers are saying: "The best pre-mixed non-alc margarita I have tried. The flavours are nicely balanced and will save you the hassle of making the cocktail from scratch."
Seedlip Margarita Mocktail
Tell me more: This gin inspired take on the Margarita is a great choice for summer because it's served with ice and very refreshing.
What you'll need: The star ingredient here is Seedlip Grove 42

Naked Life Margarita
Tell me more: This ready to drink Margarita is part of the Naked Life range and was awarded a bronze medal at the 2021 Melbourne International Spirits Competition.
Worth noting: Sugar-free and ultra-low in calories (2 calories per 100mls).
What you'll need: Best served in a salt-rimmed glass, but if you are on the go, it works straight out the can or with a straw.
Try this: Naked Life Spicy Margarita Mocktail
What customers are saying: "I had to check the can to make sure it was alcohol-free! Tasted really good poured over crushed ice."
Clovendoe Apple Margarita Mocktail
Tell me more: This Margarita uses cloudy apple juice to create a sweet base that balances perfectly with the pink salt on the rim of the glass.
What you'll need: The hero of this mocktail is Clovendoe Stem Zero

Monday Distillery Mezcalita
Tell me more: Inspired by the classic Margarita, this Mezcal blends peach soda, mandarin and finger lime to create a lip-smacking fruity mocktail.
Worth noting: Sugar-free and ultra-low in calories (1 calorie per 100mls).
What you'll need: Best served in a salt-rimmed glass but works well straight out the bottle with a straw.
What customers are saying: "My partner and I love these. Add lime and salt the rim of your class for a true margarita experience!"
Good Cocktail Spicy Margarita Mocktail
Tell me more: This mocktail uses a cocktail mixer, which is made with all-natural ingredients, as the base. You can add some extra punch by adding a non-alcoholic spirit such as Lyre's Agave Blanco Spirit.
What you'll need: Along with the mixer, you will need ice, cayenne pepper, fresh orange to garnish, lemonade and, an optional extra, a non-alcoholic spirit.
What customers are saying: "You can't go wrong with this margarita mix."
