This Margarita Mocktail swaps out the reposado tequila for a green tea infused with hints of caramel and vanilla to mimic barrel-aging, along with a must-have vegetal note from jalapeño paste. But don’t worry—this drink isn’t spicy at all. Just frighteningly close to the real thing. ¡Viva La Mockarita!
