WE’VE GOT 7 TEMPTING REASONS TO CELEBRATE NATIONAL MARGARITA DAY AT HOME
Staying sober? Refraining from alcohol doesn’t mean refraining from celebrating. We recently tried a batch of Optimist Drinks’ collection of distilled botanical spirits made without alcohol, sugar or additives and we fell in love. Created and distilled right here in L.A., each blend is a nod to the tastes and culture of our community using a complex blend of mindfully-sourced ingredients. Optimist Drinks comes in three distinct blends: Bright, Fresh, and Smokey. For a more tequila-forward taste, we recommend their Smokey bottle with tasting notes of bonfire, bittersweet and spice. Going down like a smooth tequila, this non-alcoholic botanical spirit is made with Lapsang Souchong, Bitter Red Orange, Clove, Ginger, Sage, Bergamot, Cinnamon Leaf, Habanero, Geranium, Oregano, Angelica Root, Valencia Orange, Cornmint.
The perfect serve: One part Optimist Smokey to two parts tonic or sparkling water over ice and garnished with pink peppercorns, jalapeño or orange peel.
