A tropical twist on the classic margarita, the Guavarita combines the sweet, tangy flavor of guava with smooth tequila and a burst of citrus. This refreshing cocktail is perfect for warm days, parties, or whenever you need a taste of the tropics.
Origin of Guavarita
Inspired by Latin American and Caribbean flavors, the Guavarita takes cues from the traditional margarita while incorporating guava—a tropical fruit popular in these regions. The result is a cocktail that balances the familiar tang of lime and tequila with the unique sweetness and exotic aroma of guava.
What I Love About This Recipe

The combination of guava juice, fresh lime, and tequila creates a perfectly balanced cocktail that is both sweet and tart, making it an ideal drink for any festive occasion or casual summer evening.
