Guava margarita recipe
Guava margarita, often referred to as “guavarita,” is a tropical twist on the classic margarita. It features the sweet and tangy flavors of guava. The sweetness of the guava is balanced by the tartness of fresh lime juice and the earthy, robust character of tequila.
It is perfect for summer gatherings or celebrations like Cinco de Mayo, brunches, parties, or Taco Tuesdays.
This alcoholic drink goes well with tropical appetizers like coconut-crusted shrimp, mango-jicama slaw, tropical fruit salad, mango tomatillo salsa, and citrus salad.
For dessert, try coconut flan, dark chocolate truffles, key lime tart, or vanilla bean ice cream. Mexican dishes like tacos, ceviche, mole, and antojitos balance the margarita’s sweetness.
