Recipe FAQs

→ What type of tequila works best?

Blanco or reposado tequila both work beautifully. Blanco offers a clean, crisp taste that highlights the fresh guava, while reposado adds subtle oak notes that complement the tropical sweetness.

→ Can I use bottled guava juice?

Yes, high-quality bottled guava juice works well. Look for 100% pure guava juice without added sugars for the best flavor. Fresh juice from ripe guavas will have the brightest taste.

→ How do I make it spicier?

Add a thin jalapeño slice to the shaker before mixing. The seeds contain most of the heat, so adjust the amount based on your preference. Muddling the pepper releases more spice into the blend.

→ What's the purpose of agave syrup?

Agave syrup balances the tartness of the lime and enhances the natural sweetness of the guava. Start with the recommended amount and adjust to taste—some prefer a slightly sweeter finish.

→ Can I prepare a large batch for parties?

Absolutely. Multiply the ingredients by the number of servings needed and mix in a pitcher instead of a shaker. Keep refrigerated until serving, then pour over ice in prepared glasses with fresh garnishes.

→ What garnishes work best?

Lime wheels or wedges are classic. Guava slices add beautiful color and reinforce the tropical theme. For extra flair, rim the glasses with coarse sea salt or Tajín before pouring.
