Things are getting spooky around here with this Sweet & Sour Candy Margarita. This candy inspired cocktail is the perfect sip for all of us that have a sweet tooth but are a little bit past the days of trick-or-treating.
Sweet & Sour Candy Margarita
This Sweet & Sour Candy Margarita is the perfect drink to whip up for yourself or for a group and can also be made into a mocktail if that’s your thing!
Not only is it a great recipe to make a traditional cocktail or to adjust to be free from alcohol, but it’s also made with better for you ingredients that are made from real food. When using cocktail mixes, I reach for Agalima Organic mixes because their ingredient lists are simple and the taste is delicious. For this recipe, we are using their organic Sweet & Sour mix.
Cocktail vs. Mocktail
If tequila is your thing, be sure to grab your favorite for this recipe and drink up (responsibly, of course!). If you’re looking to cut back on your alcohol intake or don’t drink at all, you can easily make this recipe a “mocktail” aka a MOCK cocktail! I recently discovered Ritual Zero Proof Tequila Alternative and was shocked at how much it smelled and tasted like tequila, all while being made with clean ingredients and zero alcohol! It’s wild and I highly recommend it.
Thirsty for more?
Once you have Agalima Organic mixes stocked, you have to try my Pineapple Turmeric Margarita that uses their margarita mix!
If you’re looking for another easy cocktail recipe that is made with all clean ingredients, you’ll love this Sparkling Cucumber Gimlet. It’s light, refreshing and makes for a perfect mocktail as well! Plus, you can make it free from sugar using my Sugar Free Simple Syrup recipe. It takes two ingredients and less than 10 minutes, by the way.
