Description

This Guava Coconut Margarita is a vibrant tropical cocktail combining tangy guava purée, creamy coconut cream, and fresh lime juice with tequila. It features a decorative and flavorful rim of salt, raw sugar, shredded coconut, and lime zest, delivering a sweet and tart, dairy-free drink perfect for summer parties or relaxing with a beach vibe. Easily converted into a mocktail by omitting the tequila, it’s served chilled over ice with a splash of sparkling water for a fizzy finish.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ounces tequila
  • 2 ounces guava purée
  • 2 ounces coconut cream
  • 3 ounces fresh lime juice

Garnishes and Rim

  • Lime wedge, for rimming the glass
  • Coarse salt
  • Raw sugar
  • Shredded coconut
  • Pinch of lime zest
  • Splash of sparkling water


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass Rim: On a small plate, combine equal parts coarse salt, raw sugar, shredded coconut, and a pinch of lime zest. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass to moisten it, then dip the glass rim into the mixture to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.
  2. Mix the Margarita: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add guava purée, coconut cream, fresh lime juice, and tequila. Shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and frothy.
  3. Strain and Serve: Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice cubes. Strain the margarita mixture into the glass carefully to avoid disturbing the rim.
  4. Add Fizz: Top the margarita with a splash of sparkling water to add a refreshing, light fizz.
  5. Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish with a fresh lime wheel or wedge on the rim and serve immediately to enjoy the drink at its freshest.

Notes

  • For a mocktail version, simply omit the tequila and increase the sparkling water slightly to maintain volume.
  • Use fresh guava purée or high-quality store-bought for the best flavor.
  • The coconut cream adds richness and creaminess; avoid using coconut milk to preserve texture.
  • Adjust the salt and sugar quantity for the rim according to your taste preference.
  • This cocktail is best served immediately to retain its refreshing qualities and foam on top.
