Dirty Margarita Mocktai;

When a drink uses some of the brine of a pickle they are called “dirty”.  The pickle brine in this recipe adds a little funk to imitate that tequila je ne sais quoi…

Ingredients

• 5 organic limes (4 to squeeze and 1 for garnish) approx. ½ cup
• 2 tbsp Italian Volcano Lemon Juice
• ¼ cup simple syrup (1 part cane sugar to 1 part water, brought to a simmer to dissolve the sugar and cooled)
• 2 tsp pickle juice
• Fever Tree Sparkling Pink Grapefruit
• Maldon Sea Salt for rim

Method

1. Measure the lime juice, lemon juice, simple syrup and pickle juice into a pitcher or large measuring cup.
2. Add ice and swirl for 1 minute, until the glass starts to fog up.
3. Let stand while you cut the lime garnish. Make the glass edges damp with a lime wedge, then dredge lightly in alt.
4. Fill glasses ½ way with ice cubes.
5. Divide the lime juice mixture between the glasses. Top with Fever Tree pink grapefruit juice and garnish with lime wedges.
6. Serve cold!
