Bite Me Rita

All the Fun, no next day hangover.

Meet the margarita's slightly rebellious alcohol-free cousin.

Tart lime, Bite Me and a zero-proof agave-style mixer give this drink the sweet-sour-spicy balance you want from a margarita—minus the tequila.

And because Bite Me itself contains lime, lemon, Manuka honey and cayenne, it's already bringing quite a bit to the glass. Smaller label -US label BiteMe-…

What you'll need

1 oz Bite Me Tonic
2 oz zero-proof agave-style spirit 
1 oz fresh lime juice or Margarita Mix
½ oz agave syrup (optional, to taste)
Salt for the rim
Lime wheel
Ice

Make it

Run a lime wedge around half the rim of a margarita or rocks glass and dip it into salt.

Add Bite Me, zero-proof agave mixer and fresh lime juice to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.

Shake hard until properly cold.

Strain over fresh ice.

Taste before adding agave—the Manuka honey in Bite Me already brings sweetness, so you may decide you don't need it.

Garnish with lime.

Margarita rules. Tequila doesn't.
