But when you want all the sun-soaked, high-vibe energy of a margarita without the hangover, our Jasmine Green Tea Mockarita is your new best friend.
This zero-proof cocktail blends aromatic Summer Jasmine Green Tea with bright lime and a splash of orange for that classic margarita vibe, while a pinch of sea salt adds the perfect savory edge. By using strongly brewed jasmine green tea as the base, you get a layered, floral complexity that feels elevated and sophisticated—no spirits required.
The best part? You can enjoy this mocktail anytime. Afternoon garden parties, sunny porch moments, or even weekday evenings when you want a ritual without the side effects. If you’re craving something a little more lively, top it with sparkling water for a bubbly, effervescent twist that dances on your tongue.
The Mockarita is proof that mindful sipping can be every bit as indulgent and celebratory as a cocktail. And honestly, when it’s this refreshing, you might not miss the tequila at all.
Ingredients:
-
1/2 cup strongly brewed Summer Jasmine Green Tea, cooled
(brew 1–2 tsp in 6 oz hot water for 5–7 mins, then chill)
-
1 oz fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)

1 oz orange juice or splash of orange blossom water

1/2 oz agave syrup or honey (adjust to taste)

Pinch of sea salt

Instructions:
1. Brew Your Tea: Steep 1–2 teaspoons of Summer Jasmine Green Tea in hot water (175–180°F) for 5–7 minutes. Strain and cool completely.
2. Mix the Mocktail: In a shaker or jar, combine chilled jasmine tea, lime juice, orange juice, agave, and a pinch of salt. Shake or stir well.
3. Serve: For a classic feel, strain into a rocks glass over ice. For a sparkling twist, pour into a tall glass and top with sparkling water. Rim your glass with lime and salt if you’re feeling fancy.
4. Garnish: Add a lime wheel, orange twist, or edible flower for extra flair.
The beauty of this mocktail isn’t just in the flavor—it’s in the ritual and the feeling. Squeezing fresh limes, shaking the chilled tea with citrus and agave, and watching the golden-green liquid pour over ice all feel like a mini celebration. Garnish with a lime wheel, orange twist, or edible flowers, and suddenly your kitchen feels like a boutique hotel bar.
This is the kind of drink that meets you where you are: relaxing by the pool, winding down after work, or hosting friends who love the art of a good mocktail. Every sip delivers zesty citrus, gentle florals, and a whisper of salt, reminding you that celebration doesn’t have to come with a buzz.
Next time you’re craving something refreshing, playful, and good for the soul, skip the shaker of tequila and reach for Summer Jasmine Green Tea instead. Pour, sip, and let your Mockarita moment transport you to sunny, salt-kissed bliss—no hangover required.
