Fauxgrita: The Alcohol-Free Version of the Classic Margarita That You’ve Been Waiting For
Bright, zesty, and utterly refreshing, this fauxgrita skips the tequila but keeps all the attitude.
FOODRECIPES
You don’t need tequila to channel the cool confidence of a margarita. The Fauxgrita trades the usual boozy burn for a crisp, tart lime juice base, mellowed with a splash of coconut water for body and balance. A touch of agave rounds out the sharp citrus edge, giving you all the sass of a marg with none of the morning regrets. It’s bracing, bright, and practically made for sunny decks, salty rims, and bold toasts. Want more summer-worthy sips? Try the Cucumber Rosemary No-Gin Fizz or the Fauxgroni.
