Equipment

• Equipment Needed:
• Shaker or blender
• Jigger (or measuring cup)
• Cocktail glass
• Muddler (optional)
• Strainer (optional)

Ingredients

  

• Ingredients
• For the Margarita:
• 2 oz tequila preferably blanco
• 1 oz fresh lime juice
• 1 oz guava juice fresh or store-bought
• 1 oz simple syrup adjust based on sweetness preference
• 1-2 slices of fresh jalapeño adjust based on heat preference
• Tajín or salt for rimming optional
• For Garnish:
• Lime wedges
• Jalapeño slices
• Guava slices optional

Instructions

 

• Method
• Prepare Your Glass
• Start by rimming your cocktail glass with Tajín or salt. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip it into a small plate of Tajín or salt. This adds a flavorful kick right from the start.
• Muddle the Jalapeño
• In a shaker, muddle the fresh jalapeño slices with the simple syrup and lime juice. This releases the heat and flavors from the jalapeño. If you prefer a milder drink, use just one slice or remove the seeds.
• Add the Tequila and Guava Juice
• Pour in the tequila and guava juice into the shaker. Add ice to the shaker, filling it about halfway.
• Shake It Up
• Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This chills the mixture and combines all the flavors beautifully.
• Strain and Serve
• Strain the mixture into your prepared cocktail glass filled with ice. If you want a smoother drink, use a fine mesh strainer to remove any jalapeño bits.
• Garnish and Enjoy
• Garnish your margarita with lime wedges, jalapeño slices, and guava slices if you have them. Now, it’s time to sit back, relax, and enjoy your Spicy Guava Margarita.
• Variations
• Fruity Twist: Substitute guava juice with mango, passion fruit, or pineapple juice for a tropical twist.
• Herbal Addition: Add fresh mint or cilantro to the shaker for an extra layer of flavor.
• Frozen Version: Blend all ingredients with ice for a frozen Spicy Guava Margarita. This is perfect for hot summer days.
• Tips and Substitutions
• For a Vegan Option: Ensure your simple syrup is made from agave syrup or sugar and water.
• Low-Calorie Version: Use low-calorie sweeteners or reduce the amount of simple syrup to suit your dietary needs.
• For a Non-Alcoholic Drink: Substitute tequila with a splash of soda water or a non-alcoholic tequila alternative.
