The Vida Loca Mockarita takes the margarita as its template: lime juice at the centre, a dry finish from quinine, bitter orange in the background. The nitrogen widget gives the NITRO Mocktails signature pour, smooth and non-carbonated, with a velvety texture that feels closer to a shaken cocktail than a canned drink. On the nose, lime and citrus come through cleanly with bitter orange underneath. The palate is lime-forward and tart, the quinine pulling things dry before the finish, which is short and acidic. Context is limited in the recipe notes but what is there points to a clean, no-frills lime drink with the added complexity of a botanical bitter. Nothing to fool anyone who knows a proper margarita, but honest about what it is.
