About This Drink

Pentire is a Cornish brand making non-alcoholic spirits from foraged coastal plants — sea herbs like rock samphire (a peppery, fennel-flavoured plant from the cliffs of Cornwall and India's Konkan coast), sage, and citrus. Pentire Seaward has notes of sea salt, citrus zest, and fresh herbs — it is the most convincing NA tequila substitute currently available in the UK. Trishna's Sea Spice Margarita is listed on their Refreshments page alongside their non-alcoholic street sodas, completing the picture of a restaurant that treats zero-proof cocktails with the same seriousness as their award-winning food. The chilli heat echoes Trishna's coastal Indian cooking, where green chilli (hari mirch) appears in everything from chutneys to curries.

Bartender Tips

Pentire Seaward is the more coastal, citrus-forward of the two Pentire expressions. Rock samphire has a very strong peppery-fennel flavour — use it sparingly. Regular thyme or flat-leaf parsley muddles well as a substitute. The chilli level is personal — Trishna describes it as 'gentle chilli heat' so start with 1 slice and taste before adding more.
