Guilt-Free Ritual Margarita

Cinco De Mayo has somehow become a a holiday centered around kicking back tequila-infused margaritas. I’m guessing this isn’t what this holiday is suppose to be centered around- but one the alcohol industry welcomes!! ($$$$)

In alignment with my daily MINDFUL MAY message on Instagram, I thought I would share my favorite booze-free version.

I discovered Ritual tequila back in March as it was gifted to me for my birthday by a dear friend. I received it shortly before leaving for spring break and it became my “go-to” drink most nights.  Trust me- it’s a lot more fun to celebrate a holiday, a vacation, or any day without a hangover the next day. 

Ritual has a little peppery bite to it so if spicy margaritas are your thing- you must give this a try!

Guilt-Free Ritual Margarita

2 ounce shot of Ritual Zero Proof Tequila

Juice of one lemon

Juice of one lime

4-5 shakes of orange bitters

¼ cup of San Pellegrino Aranciata Classic Orange Sparkling Water

————-

Start with a fun glass- add your shot of Ritual Zero Proof Tequila.

Add the juice of lemon and lime (you can add a little zest if you are feeling it!)

Add a few shakes of orange bitters and mix.

Add ice, top with San Pellegrino sparkling soda, and mix.

 Garnish with a slice of lime

Alcohol is a depressant that can create mood swings and particularly anxiety the next day.  Being MINDFUL takes intention- and it can be hard to resist the quick fix in favor of the long-term good.  You deserve to feel your best each and every day- and deserve to wake up grounded, centered and free of anxiety.  Cheers to mocktails and happy mindful days!
