Parch Non-Alcoholic Desert Margarita

It's a tangy sweet-and-salty sip that lands close to a classic margarita, balancing citrus and salt. Look for hibiscus, lime, sea salt and orange, with tamarind, tangerine juice and chamomile filling out the flavor.

It's made for warm weather and taco night — the citrus-and-salt profile plays well with Mexican-inspired food. Serve it well chilled, and a salted rim or lime wedge takes it even closer to the real thing.

Each 250 ml single-serve can blends tamarind, tangerine juice and chamomile with functional ingredients including ashwagandha, L-theanine and American ginseng.

Parch is made by Parch Spirits Co., a small company based in Tucson, Arizona, and co-founded by Ila Byrne and Rodolfo "Rudy" Aldana, who both previously worked on the agave portfolio at spirits giant Diageo. Their non-alcoholic cocktails are built around organic Blue Weber agave and take their inspiration from the plants and botanicals of the Sonoran Desert, which stretches across the US-Mexico border.

Functional beverages are drinks infused with ingredients like adaptogens, nootropics, and botanicals to support wellness, reduce stress, and enhance cognitive function.

We carry a few hundred different products on our website with all different ingredients. We suggest you consult with your doctor regarding specific ingredients.

Some of our products contain adaptogens, nootropics, and other herbs that are not recommended for people who are pregnant, but we're not doctors and do not give medical advice. Every body and pregnancy is different, so we suggest talking to a healthcare professional if you're unsure.

Not all of our non-alcoholic beverages are 100% alcohol-free. Some contain trace amounts of alcohol at less than 0.5% alcohol by volume.  This is consistent with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s labeling policy, which permits the use of the term, “non-alcoholic” to describe a product that contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume.

If you are looking for products that are 0.0% alcohol by volume, look for the "Alcohol-Free" badge on the product page.
