Non-Alcoholic Margarita — Everything You Need to Know
The Margarita is one of the world's most popular cocktails — and for good reason. Tart, salty, citrusy, satisfying. It's the perfect combination of flavours.
The non-alcoholic version has come a long way. Here's everything you need to know about non-alcoholic Margaritas in Australia.
Why Non-Alcoholic Margaritas Work
The core of a Margarita — lime, a bit of sweetness, salt on the rim — doesn't need alcohol to taste great. The challenge has always been mouthfeel: that silky, slightly viscous texture that comes from tequila.
Smug AF solves this with nitro-dosing: nitrogen gas is added to the cans, giving each pour a creamy, satisfying texture that genuinely replicates the feel of a proper Margarita.
The Smug AF Margarita Range
Classic Margarita
Zesty lime, a subtle tequila-like flavour note, satisfying salt rim. Bronze Medal at the World Alcohol-Free Awards 2023 and 2024. The one to start with.
Chilli Margarita
Spicy, smoky, bold. Not for the faint-hearted. Pairs beautifully with the Spicy Lime rim garnish.
Coconut Margarita
Creamy, tropical. Made with coconut rum essence for that holiday-in-a-glass quality. Try it with the Coco Loco fizz rim.
Grapefruit Margarita
Bright, bittersweet citrus. Closer to a Paloma profile. Pairs perfectly with dehydrated grapefruit garnish.
How to Serve a Non-Alcoholic Margarita Properly
- Chill the can in the fridge (not the freezer)
- Rim a glass with Smug AF's Lime Fizz or Spicy Lime sherbet
- Fill the glass with ice
- Pour slowly over the ice
- Garnish with dehydrated lime or grapefruit
