    Take your margaritas up a level by adding sweet guava nectar! This tropical twist on the traditional Margarita makes for the perfect refreshing summer cocktail!

    Guava Margarita

    Growing up as a Cuban in South Florida, eating guava is part of the culture. So adding this fun spin seemed natural to me. This is a great drink for Cinco De Mayo or any hot summer day.

    Ingredients

    Guava Margarita ingredients

    Guava nectar
     Tequila
    Cointreau
    Fresh lime juice
    Simple syrup
    Sugar sprinkles
    Lime & guava slices
    Cup of ice

    Variations

    • Spicy guava margarita: If you like your sweet with a little spice, muddle a jalapeño in your cocktail shaker before pouring in the rest of your ingredients. Add a little cayenne pepper to your sugar sprinkles to rim the glass.
    • Peach or Mango margarita: Replace the guava nectar with your choice of fruit nectar for a different kind of margarita
    • Frozen guava margaritas: Freeze the guava nectar in an ice cube tray. Then, blend the frozen guava cubes with the rest of the ingredients into a slush. Serve with a straw.

    Substitutions

    • If you don't have Cointreau available, you can use Triple Sec
    • If you're not a fan of simple syrup, opt for Agave instead.
    • Don't have any fresh limes handy? You can use for bottled lime juice instead.
    • Don't like sugar on your glass rim? Go the traditional route and use salt instead.

    For this you'll need a cocktail shaker and margarita glasses

    Top tip

    • Fresh guava vs. store bought nectar: If you're able to get fresh guavas, you can make juice out of them and use that for these margaritas. I opt for using guava nectar becuase it's more readily accessible and much more convenient.
    • Sugar vs salt: Classic margaritas use salt on the rim, but with fruity drinks or for people who don’t like salt, using sugar instead is a great alternative.
    • Chill the glasses. This drink tastes best when it is extra cold. If you have the time, chill the margarita glasses in the fridge.

    My name is Cari and I'm the person behind FatgirlHedonist.com. I'm born and raised in Miami (Hialeah if you'd like specifics) and proud Latina. I'm a single mom to a very curious toddler. I completed a culinary program in high school that made my love of food blossom, but my career went in a very different direction. No matter what turns my life has taken, cooking, baking and eating have always been three of my favorite activities. I'm lucky enough that I can have this blog as an outlet for those three passions.
