Spicy Guava Margarita
About
The Spicy Guava Margarita turns up the heat on a classic favorite. Casamigos jalapeo tequila brings smoky spice, guava purée delivers lush tropical sweetness, and fresh lime juice keeps the balance bright and zesty. Triple sec (or another orange liqueur) layers in citrus depth, while agave syrup softens the edges.
It’s a fiesta of flavors - sweet, tangy, and lightly fiery - designed for adventurous palates. Whether it’s taco night, a rooftop gathering, or a beachy sunset, this margarita promises an instant upgrade to your happy hour.
Shaken or Stirred? Shaken. A strong shake cools the tequila and guava while blending sweet and spicy flavors into a smooth, refreshing pour.
