Mocktail Base

Method

Prep & Rim (optional)

1

Rim the glass (optional)

If you want a salted or Tajín rim, run the lime half around the glass rim, then dip the rim into a shallow plate with coarse salt or Tajín. Set glass aside.

Muddling Fruit

2

In a sturdy mixing glass or cocktail shaker, add the quartered strawberries, raspberries, and the juice of 1/2 lime (about 1/2 tsp–1 tsp). Use a muddler to gently but firmly muddle the fruit until broken down and juicy but not completely puréed — you want some texture and seeds to remain for visual and flavor interest.

Build the Mockarita

3

Add the Ritual Zero Proof Tequila Alternative (2 oz) and pineapple juice (3 oz) to the muddled fruit. Pour in the grenadine (1/2 oz). Add a handful of ice (about 1 cup) to the shaker or mixing glass.

4

Cap the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds to chill, integrate flavors, and slightly macerate the fruit into the liquid. If you used a mixing glass, stir briskly for 10–15 seconds and then double-strain to remove large solids.

Finish & Serve

5

Fill the prepared serving glass with fresh ice. Strain the shaken mocktail into the glass (double-strain if you prefer fewer seeds/pulp).

6

Top with Sprite (about 2 oz) to add effervescence. Give the drink one gentle stir (1–2 rotations) to combine the soda without flattening it.

7

Garnish with a lime wheel/wedge and 2–3 fresh berries threaded on a pick or floated on top. Serve immediately.
