Combine tequila, olive juice, lime juice, triple sec, simple syrup, and bitters in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into the glass over ice cubes. Garnish with olives and onions.

If you don't have triple sec handy, you can substitute with another good-quality orange liqueur like Grand Marnier or Cointreau. For a non-alcoholic substitute you can add fresh orange juice, or agave nectar/simple syrup, to add a touch of sweetness.

The best mocktail recipes incorporate ingredients like fresh juices, flavorful syrups, sparkling sodas, and often non-alcoholic spirits to create balanced, refreshing drinks without the negative health effects of traditional booze.

How is mocktail made? ›

To make mocktails, bartenders mix combinations of sodas, juices, herbs, and syrups to create unique flavors.

With the Jose Cuervo Classic Lime Light Margarita Mix you can create your favorite drinks at your next party. Just add tequila and enjoy. It is non-alcoholic and made with natural flavors.

In a co*cktail shaker, combine tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice. Fill with ice and shake until thoroughly chilled, about 15 seconds (the bottom of a metal shaker should frost over). Fill glasses with fresh ice and strain margarita into both glasses. Garnish with lime wheels and serve.

A splash of fruit juice can also add some more flavor to your margaritas. Grapefruit juice will give a tart, slightly sour flavor, while pineapple juice creates a more tropical-tasting drink.
