Tropical Paradise Guava Coconut Margarita - Step 2

Ingredients

Instructions

Step 1

1. Prepare the Glasses: Moisten the rims of two rocks glasses with a lime wheel. Dip the moistened rims into a shallow dish of salt or Tajín to create a frosted, seasoned edge. Set glasses aside.

2. Combine Ingredients: Add the guava purée, coconut cream, lime juice, tequila, orange liqueur, and agave syrup into a cocktail shaker.

3. Shake Vigorously: Fill the shaker with the ice cubes. Secure the lid and shake hard for 15-20 seconds, until the outside of the shaker feels very cold and frosty. This emulsifies the coconut cream and chills the mixture thoroughly.

Chef's Notes

1. Emulsify for Creaminess: The vigorous shake is non-negotiable; it fully incorporates the coconut cream, preventing an oily separation and ensuring a perfectly silky texture.

2. Balance is Key: Taste your guava purée and lime juice first, as their sweetness and acidity vary. Adjust the agave syrup up or down by 5 ml (1 tsp) to match your preferred sweetness level.

3. Chill Everything: For a frosty, undiluted drink, ensure your tequila, lime juice, and coconut cream are well-chilled before starting. Use large, clear ice cubes to melt slower and keep the drink cold without watering it down quickly.

Serving Suggestions

This rich, creamy cocktail is a perfect standalone treat for a hot afternoon or evening. It pairs wonderfully with spicy Mexican appetizers like ceviche, shrimp tacos, or chile rellenos. It also complements grilled fish, pineapple fried rice, or a simple tropical fruit salad. Serve poolside, at a brunch buffet, or as a luxurious after-dinner drink.
