HOT HONEY GUAVA MARGARITA | Margarita No. 4 of #joinjulesmargaritaweek Had a little taste test with the guava, homemade vs. store bought. Obviously, store bought is easier to find but the homemade has a much more earthy flavor that personally plays with the agave spirit sooo well. I recommend, if using store bought start with 3/4 oz guava juice to balance the sweetness! Here’s how to make it at home: In a cocktail shaker add 1/2 oz hot honey 1 oz guava juice, homemade puree 3/4 oz Cointreau 1.5 oz tequila, or Mezcal 3/4 oz fresh lime juice Add ice and shake! Double strain into your glass rimmed with Tajin and filled with ice. OPTIONAL: top with soda water Garnish with fresh mint & guava slice Xoxo, cheers #margarita #guava #guavatree #tequila #cocktailrecipes #margaritas #guavamargarita #hothoney
