Tasting Notes
This Guava Passionfruit Margarita is tropical, tart, and a little sweet with just enough bite from the tequila. Guava juice gives it a smooth, fruity base, while the passionfruit liqueur adds a tangy, bright punch. Lime juice keeps the drink crisp and refreshing, and agave syrup softens it all with a natural sweetness. The salted rim adds a nice contrast and helps bring out the fruit flavor. It’s fresh, juicy, and easy to sip.
Equipment and Glassware
You’ll need a shaker, jigger, and a strainer. A citrus press will make juicing the lime faster and easier. Use a small plate to coat the rim with agave and salt. A rocks glass or coupe works well for serving. If you want to level up the presentation, chill your glass ahead of time and garnish with a lime wheel or slice of guava.

- For a salt rim that sticks better, use a thin line of agave around the outside edge of the glass, don’t overdo it.
