A No-Alcohol Margarita (from Cornwall!
Pentire Margarita is a unique no-boozy tipple from the Cornish coast. Traditional margarita is made with tequila spirit from Mexico (it doesn’t have a ‘worm in the bottle’ but its cousin mezcal may do). This creates a similar drink in zero waste packaging, using local botanicals and supporting artisan small crafters.
The Cornish coast has a unique climate, soil and air moisture, meaning key botanicals thrive here. Everything is sustainably-sourced and uses Fair Trade organic ingredients, sold in sustainable packaging. The botanicals are even rich in vitamins. The company also donates to Blue Marine Foundation to help protect the world’s oceans. Everything is also made locally with seasonal ingredients, a wonderful way to support local agriculture, and keep jobs in communities.
All the drinks from this company are vegan and gluten-free. The margarita is sweetened with organic agave syrup, rather than sugar. Sold in bottles to serve 2 or 5 people, this contains lime, sea salt and a dash of Mexican chilli, for a fresh zingy ready-to-drink no-alcohol cocktail. To serve, pour 100ml into a rocks glass over ice, then garnish with a lime wedge and slice of chilli. Also sold in easy-to-recycle cans.
