Guava Margarita

New year’s in my childhood home meant two things.

Pozole

Bunuelos

So how does a guava margarita fit into the mix?  Nowhere, really I had leftover guavas from making my Ponche Navideno and I find sipping a cocktail as I stand over my pot skimming foam for my pozole broth makes for a more enjoyable time.

Margarita motivation.

Enjoy! Sweet Life

guavas – plum sized , yellowish skinned fruit with a pear like taste. their inside is filled with filled with small seeds some edible, some very tough. they can be used for liquados, aguas or candied.  sold  fresh, frozen or jarred with alimbar (sugar syrup) 

You can purchase guava juice or make your own.  Peel guavas, remove seeds and blend.  Strain and your ready to go.  Some people prefer not to peel, but I find the skin can sometimes add a bitter aftertaste. It is a little time consuming, but adds great flavor.

    Oh me oh my. This post could not have come at a better time.

    I was in Kauai over Christmas and was absolutely spoiled by the abundance of all things guava. I had a glass of guava nectar with breakfast just about every morning.

    The thought of it in a margarita makes me want to do a little dance.

    Couldn’t find guava juice in our little town in Mexico, so I used mango juice to make your recipe. Wow! Too good!

    Yum, Bonnie! This is such a pretty drink. I love guava too. It is actually grown near me in the Miami/Dade area, and a lot of people have trees apparently. I bet I could get some nice local guava. Well, probably. Apparently, it’s also in demand down here.
    Hey, I hope you guys have a great New Year. Try not to drink too many of these;-)
    XOXO,
    Stella

    Guavas are one of my favorite fruits. I wish they were more plentiful! This looks like a wonderful tropical brightly flavored drink.

    I have no frame of reference for the flavour of guavas. I have never had one – but it looks delish!!!! (especially, sideways!)
