Guava Coconut Margarita
A tropical twist on the classic margarita, this guava coconut margarita offers a delightful balance of sweetness, creaminess, and tangy lime, perfect for pool parties and summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Core Ingredients
- 2 oz guava purée Use a high-quality purée or strained guava paste thinned with a splash of water.
- 1 oz coconut cream Coconut cream is thicker and richer than coconut milk.
- 1 oz fresh lime juice Always use freshly squeezed lime for best flavor.
- 2 oz tequila Choose Blanco for a bright profile or Reposado for a rounder finish.
- Ice To chill the drink.
- Lime wedges for garnish Adds a fresh touch.
- Salt for rimming (optional) Flaky sea salt or coarse margarita salt recommended.
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by deciding whether you want a salted rim. If you do, run a lime wedge around the glass lip and dip it into coarse salt.
- In a cocktail shaker, add guava purée, coconut cream, fresh lime juice, and tequila.
- Fill the shaker halfway with ice, close it, and shake hard for about 12–15 seconds.
- Fill your serving glass with fresh ice and strain the shaken mix over it.
- Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim and serve immediately.
Notes
Keep all ingredients chilled for the best flavor. A firm shake helps emulsify the coconut cream with the guava and lime, creating a silky cocktail. Adjust sweetness with lime or simple syrup as needed. Can be made in batches for parties or gatherings.
