Guava Margarita from My Yard

Submitted by Rinshinomori

"After looking at other guava margarita recipes, I decided to create my own because I do not care for all the sweet drinks out there and wanted to use what I have from my yard. I have Meyer lemons and guavas but guavas are not in season so used Kerns guava juice/nectar. I was also looking for the pinkish hue and added grenadine to boost the color."

 

• Ready In: 5mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup guava juice (such as Kerns juice or nectar)

• 1 teaspoon grenadine
• ice cube, for shaking
• lemon slice (to garnish)
