Print Recipe

A refreshing and vibrant Tropical Margarita Mocktail, perfect for parties or a relaxing treat. Combines pineapple, mango, orange, and lime juices with a touch of agave and sparkling water.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pineapple juice, chilled
  • 1/2 cup mango juice, chilled
  • 1/4 cup orange juice, chilled
  • 1/4 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons agave nectar (or simple syrup, to taste)
  • 1/4 cup sparkling water or club soda, chilled
  • Ice cubes
  • Lime wedges, for garnish
  • Pineapple chunks, for garnish (optional)
  • Mango slices, for garnish (optional)
  • Salt or sugar for rimming the glasses (optional)

Instructions

  1. (Optional) Prepare Glasses: On a small plate, spread a thin layer of salt or sugar. Moisten the rim of each glass with a lime wedge. Gently press the moistened rim into the salt or sugar. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.
  2. Combine Juices: In a pitcher or cocktail shaker, combine pineapple juice, mango juice, orange juice, and lime juice.
  3. Add Sweetener: Pour in agave nectar (or simple syrup). Start with the recommended amount and then taste the mixture. If you prefer a sweeter mocktail, add a little more sweetener until it reaches your desired level of sweetness.
  4. Stir or Shake: If using a pitcher, stir until agave nectar is dissolved. If using a cocktail shaker, add ice and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Adjust the flavors as needed. If it’s too tart, add more agave nectar. If it’s too sweet, add a squeeze of lime juice.
  6. Fill Glasses: Fill rimmed glasses with ice cubes.
  7. Pour Mocktail: Slowly pour the tropical margarita mocktail into the ice-filled glasses, leaving a little room at the top.
  8. Top with Sparkling Water: Gently top each glass with sparkling water or club soda.
  9. Garnish: Garnish each glass with a lime wedge, a pineapple chunk, and/or a mango slice.
  10. Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of chili powder or a few slices of jalapeño.
  • Try using guava juice, passion fruit juice, or papaya juice for a different tropical flavor profile.
  • Blend all the ingredients with ice until smooth and creamy for a frozen margarita mocktail.
  • Muddle a few sprigs of mint or basil into the cocktail shaker for a refreshing herbal note.
  • Experiment with different flavored sparkling waters, such as lime, grapefruit, or coconut, to add another layer of flavor.
  • For a visually stunning mocktail, layer different colored juices in the glass.
  • Adjust sweetness to your preference.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to serve a crowd.
  • Use fresh fruit when possible.
  • Reduce the amount of agave nectar or simple syrup to lower the sugar content.
