Non-Alcoholic Strawberry Margarita

Refreshing Strawberry Margarita (Non-Alcoholic)

One of my absolute favorite margaritas to make because strawberries are my favorite fruit! Honestly, I think I could eat a whole carton in one sitting if I let myself. They’re sweet, juicy, and perfect for blending into a bright and refreshing mocktail.

This non-alcoholic strawberry margarita is the perfect balance of sweet and tart, with fresh strawberries, zesty lime juice, and a hint of orange for that classic margarita flavor. I love using a non-alcoholic tequila alternative for a little extra depth, but it’s totally optional. I'll share what you can use to replace below.

How To Make

Muddle the strawberries in a separate glass or directly in the shaker until they’re nice and juicy. Add the orange juice, lime juice, agave, and non-alcoholic tequila alternative (if using). Fill the shaker with ice and SHAKE IT UP. Then, strain into a glass filled with ice. Garnish with a fresh strawberry or a lime wedge.

Ingredients

• 3-4 strawberries

• 2 oz Orange juice

• 1 oz NA tequila alternative (optional)

• 1/2 oz agave

• 1/2 lime - juiced

Notes

• I did a double strain to keep the chunks of strawberry out of my drink. But you can also add the muddled strawberries directly to your shaker if you like the little pieces of fruit in your beverages.

• You can leave out the NA tequila alternative. Replace it with some sparkling water or 1 oz of strawberry juice or something close to it!

So What is Tequila Alternative?

Non-alcoholic tequila alternatives are made to mimic the taste, aroma, and slight burn of traditional tequila. Think of them like the NA version of spirits: crafted to deliver that same complex flavor you’d expect in a margarita!

Non-alcoholic tequila alternatives are perfect for those who love the bold, earthy, and slightly smoky flavors of traditional tequila. These substitutes are crafted to mimic the essence of tequila, making them ideal for mocktail versions of your favorite tequila-based drinks.

Favorite brands to try:

• Free Spirits The Spirit of Tequila – More complex, with a warm finish and herbal notes. Inspired by aged tequila and artisanal mezcal, it captures warm oak and vanilla, bright pepper heat from natural capsaicin, and subtle smokiness.

• Almave Blanco Non-Alcoholic Blue Agave Spirit (<0.5% ABV) - This one became my favorite in 2025! Almave is the first super-premium non-alcoholic Blue Agave spirit, made in Mexico, closely following traditional tequila distillation techniques. Check with Dr. if pregnant!

• Ritual Zero Proof Agave Spirit Alternative – Earthy, vegetal, and a little spicy. A great go-to for margaritas.

NOTE: Please consult your health care provider if you have questions on consuming non-alcoholic wine that has less than .5% alcohol. This is NOT health advice.

What to Replace Tequila Alternative if you don't have it:

If you prefer, you can omit the tequila alternative and enjoy the mocktail as is. It will still have the vibrant citrus flavors of a traditional margarita. Just add another 1oz of orange juice or add another flavor like pineapple, mango, or strawberry! You can also replace it with sparkling water or coconut water. Add some jalapeños if you want some kick!
