When it’s time to party, you head straight to the bar. It feels good to have a drink in your hand while mingling. But sometimes even one drink leads to nausea and a very regrettable morning headache. Rather than risk a hangover, turn to this salty-and-sweet virgin margarita. Citrus, coconut and sweet agave will leave you feeling lively and refreshed instead of slow and groggy.
