Margarita Mocktails
Sammy Piquant The Oaxaca is the perfect non-alcoholic substitute for mazcal in Margaritas. When my parnter quit alcohol last year, he was missing margaritas, as he makes very good ones. After reading all of the substitute tequilas/ mezcals, this is the one closest to the one we were using, (Monte Alban Mezcal) based on the description, so I took the plunge and ordered it. When we opened it and smelt it, it was perfect. After mixing, the drink tasted delicious, and we added 3 drops of green tabasco, just enough to give a little kick that was missing from the alcohol burn. Very refreshing summer mocktail. Even one of our mates who has tasted the alcohol version, tasted this mocktail and agreed how good it was.
Recipe:
2 shots/60mL "The Oxaca" (Mezcal substitute)
1 shot/ 30mL Lyres Orange (Cointreau/triple sec substitute)
1 1/2 limes juiced
3 drops green tabasco, optional to give little kick similar to missing alcohol burn
Ice
Shake
Rim the glassware with lime skins, and dip into prefered rim salt, we like tajin, which contains chilli and paprika.
Pour and enjoy!
