Ingredients

Scale

For the Cocktail

2 ounces guava purée
2 ounces coconut cream
3 ounces fresh lime juice
3 ounces tequila
Splash of sparkling water

For the Glass Rim

Coarse salt
Raw sugar
Shredded coconut
Pinch of lime zest
Lime wedge (for rimming and garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the glass rim: On a small plate, combine equal parts coarse salt, raw sugar, and shredded coconut with a pinch of lime zest. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass and dip the rim into the mixture to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
Mix the cocktail: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, 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.
Fill the glass: Place fresh ice into the prepared glass. Strain the margarita mixture from the shaker into the glass over the ice.
Add fizz: Top the cocktail with a splash of sparkling water to introduce a refreshing fizz.
Garnish and serve: Garnish your Guava Coconut Margarita with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim of the glass and serve immediately for the best experience.

Notes

Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor; bottled lime juice may alter the taste.
Adjust the tequila amount according to your preference for strength.
For a sweeter cocktail, add a little agave syrup or simple syrup.
The sparkling water splash is optional but adds a nice refreshing touch.
For a frozen variant, blend all ingredients with ice instead of shaking.
