Imagine this. It’s taco Tuesday and you’re enjoying some of the BEST tacos you’ve made in a while and you know that the best thing you can pair with those tacos is a Margarita… only, you want one (a sweet, sour, and tangy Margarita) that you can enjoy guilt free in the middle of the week! So, you make THIS Non Alcoholic (NA) Hibiscus Margarita recipe that I’m sharing with you today!

This NA margarita features Ritual Zero Proof Tequila Alternative, DHOS Orange triple sec alternative, hibiscus concentrate, lime juice, and simple syrup. 

I make my simple syrup from scratch, just equal parts sugar and boiling water, but you can also purchase it pre made from your local grocery. If you want a more citrus heavy simple syrup you can also add lemon or lime zest to your simple syrup as it cools and strain it off before storing.

The hibiscus concentrate is super simple to make by steeping dried hibiscus flowers in hot water. I find that the most cost effective place to buy dried hibiscus is in the spice section of your local international grocery store.

Please note that although non-alcoholic cocktails are usually a great option for pregnancy, there are some studies that show that hibiscus tea should be limited during pregnancy so if you are expecting make sure you check with your medical provider to determine if there is a safe amount of hibiscus to consume during pregnancy and lactation. Consider swapping out hibiscus concentrate with a raspberry leaf tea concentrate instead.

I decided to go with Ritual Zero Proof Tequila as the NA alternative to traditional Tequila. According to Ritual’s website there, “tequila substitute delivers the same grassy flavor, smoky aroma, and bright fire of traditional tequila” it also contains 0 calories and less than a gram of sugar per serving. In additional to Ritual Zero Proof, here are some other non alcoholic tequila alternatives:

• Aplós ARISE Non-Alcoholic Adaptogen-Infused Beverage, Tequila Style Alternative
• Seven Giants Reposado Style Tequila Alternative
• MIXOLOSHE Non-Alcoholic Tequila Alternative
• CUT ABOVE Zero Alcohol Agave Blanco Tequila

I decided on Dhos Orange – Non-Alcoholic Liquor With Orange, Tangerine, Sweet Vanilla & Spice as my triple sec alternative. It has just 5 calories per serving and is sugar free! According to their website it, “is viscous and rich, luscious and silky – with mouth-filling flavors of oranges, tangerines, and clementines.  Bitter citrus pith, cucumber, and watermelon rind add a slightly green exotic quality to the concentration of citrus flavors and provide a segue to the long lingering finish of warming spice and cooling menthol.” In addition to DHOS, here are some other non alcoholic triple sec alternatives:

• ATREVO Triple Sec Syrup Non-Alcoholic
• Lyre’s Orange Sec

Instead of a traditional salt rim I combine sugar and dried hibiscus leaves in a space grinder to use for a hibiscus sugar rim (but a plain sugar rim works fine here too).
