Strawberry Margarita Mocktail Pitchers

Ingredients

• 2 cup strawberries (Husked and sliced; additional sliced strawberries may be used for serving.)
• 1 tsp water (Used to blend the strawberries.)
• 1 cup strawberry puree (Prepared by blending the strawberries with water.)
• 1 cup Ritual zero-proof tequila alternative
• 0.25 cup lime juice (The source recommends freshly squeezed lime juice.)
• 0.25 cup non-alcoholic orange liqueur flavoring (The structured recipe calls this “n/a orange liquere flavouring.” The body mentions Lyre's Orange Sec as an option and says 1 tsp orange extract or orange oil may be substituted if needed.)
• salt (Pinch.)
• ice (Add when serving.)
• seltzer (Add to taste when serving; quantity not specified.)
• strawberries (Sliced, for serving.)

Steps

1. 1

   Add the strawberries and water to a blender.

2. 2

   Blend on high speed until smooth to make the strawberry puree.

3. 3

   Add the strawberry puree, zero-proof tequila alternative, lime juice, non-alcoholic orange liqueur flavoring, and a pinch of salt to a pitcher. Stir to combine.

4. 4

   If serving immediately, add ice to the pitcher.

5. 5

   Top the pitcher with seltzer and sliced strawberries, then serve.

6. 6

   If serving later, refrigerate the prepared base until ready to serve. Add ice and seltzer just before serving.

Notes

The recipe generally makes 4 to 6 drinks depending on glass size, the amount of seltzer, and the amount of ice. It can be doubled or tripled for a larger crowd. For a low-alcohol version, the body suggests substituting 1/4 cup regular Triple Sec for the non-alcoholic orange liqueur flavoring. For a completely alcohol-free version without a tequila substitute, the body suggests using fresh lime juice, omitting the tequila alternative, and using Lyre's Orange Sec or 1 tsp orange extract or orange oil; the structured ingredient list and instructions remain authoritative for the main recipe.
