Pentire No-alcohol Margaritas (from Cornwall!)
Pentire Margarita is a Cornish sustainable drink, with no-booze. This is a healthy riff on the classic Margarita, blending coastal botanicals with lime, agave (a natural sweetener related to cactus), sea salt and a dash of Mexican chilli. To create a fantastic ready-to-drink cocktail.
If you prefer a boozy Margarita, know that most tequila bottles don’t have a ‘worm in the bottle’, but their cousin mezcal may).
To serve, pour 100ml into a rock glass over ice. Garnish with a lime wedge, and a slice of chilli.
This is a really eco-friendly company that sells all their items in easy-to-recycle packaging, sends in zero waste packaging, and uses a portion of profits to give back to organisations that are helping the planet.
The drink is also sold in cans. You don’t have to crush cans for recycling, but do pop the ring-pull over the top before doing so, to avoid wildlife getting trapped inside.
Mexico is Doing Good Green things!
As well as being mostly plant-based, Mexico (a large country in central American that borders the USA) is also home to a stunning coastline (including the world’s second-largest coral reef), and at the forefront of protecting its country from deforestation, air pollution and lack of clean water.
Home to over 200,000 species of wildlife and plants, there is a real urgency now. Local legislators are upping their game, with moves to ban over-tourism, which is harming marine life (snorkelling alongside whale sharks etc).
And a ban is imminent on performing dolphin shows, something that their friends over the border in the USA could learn from.
