Parch Desert Margarita

PARCH Desert Margarita is a sparkling, alcohol-free agave cocktail inspired by the sour oranges and sweet limes grown at Mission Garden in Tucson. Organic Blue Weber agave is layered with lime, tangerine, tamarind, orange peel bitters, chamomile, hibiscus, and Sonoran Desert sea salt for a tart, citrusy drink with a savory edge. Each 8.4-ounce can also contains 185 mg of PARCH's adaptogenic blend of American ginseng, L-theanine, and KSM-66 ashwagandha. PARCH Desert Margarita contains 0.0% ABV.

Why We Love It

We love Desert Margarita because it tastes like someone actually made a margarita. The citrus has a proper sour bite, the agave brings just enough softness, and the salt is already woven into the drink instead of feeling like an afterthought. We recommend it when someone wants a ready-to-drink margarita that is refreshing but still has the savory depth and complexity of a cocktail mixed at the bar. It is especially good for gatherings because all it really needs is ice, a good glass, and perhaps a little salt around the rim.

How to Drink PARCH Desert Margarita

Chill the can thoroughly, rim a rocks glass with sea salt, fill it with ice, and pour. Finish with a fresh lime wheel.

Cheeky & Dry Signature Serve — Desert Margarita Picante: Lightly muddle 2 thin jalapeño slices with ½ ounce fresh lime juice and 2 dashes of non-alcoholic orange bitters in the bottom of a shaker. Add ice and shake briefly, then double strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice and rimmed halfway with smoked salt. Top slowly with one chilled can of PARCH Desert Margarita and stir gently. Garnish with a lime wheel. The fresh lime sharpens the citrus while the jalapeño and smoked salt give the tamarind and agave a deeper, more savory character.

Pair it with: carne asada tacos, grilled shrimp, roasted corn, tortilla chips with guacamole, chile-lime cauliflower, salty queso fresco, ceviche, or grilled pineapple. Desert Margarita is especially good with spicy, smoky, salty, citrusy, and richly savory food.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Fresh lime, tangerine peel, tamarind, and a soft herbal note.

Palate: Tart citrus and mellow agave balanced by tamarind, orange bitters, and mineral salinity.

Finish: Bright, tangy, and lightly savory with lingering lime and orange peel.

Body: Light and sparkling with enough agave roundness to soften the acidity.
