But let’s not stop there – if you want to take your mocktail making experience to the next level, here are two tips to consider: (1) Before cutting your lime, give it a good roll on the counter to get all those juices flowing inside. (2) Take a moment to really muddle those jalapeños so all of that fiery essence can be released into your drink. 

I love this recipe because it is so versatile. Feel free to experiment with various flavors, add in berries, or swap in your favorite sparkling soda or water to better suit your taste buds. And for those of legal drinking age, adding an ounce of tequila can instantly transform this mocktail into a spirited cocktail, giving you the best of both worlds.

Simplicity and convenience – two essential criteria needed for college students and that’s why this recipe stays winning. It requires only a few basic supplies such as a plate, spoon, glass, and knife and it is super easy to make in a dorm room. Within minutes, you will have a refreshing mocktail in hand, ready to be enjoyed on the quad, by the pool, or wherever you choose to escape the summer heat.

To turn this drink recipe into a party, prepare some snacks that pair well with the drink. Fresh guacamole and salsa with tortilla chips are an excellent choice. The creamy and tangy flavors of the guacamole, along with a fresh mix of tomatoes, onions, and cilantro from the salsa, will perfectly complement that zesty kick of our spicy margarita mocktail recipe.
