Jay Dickerson’s Cocktail of the Week 6/17/08

 

A guava margarita recipe was given to me by one of our regular EQ guests.   She tried one in a local restaurant and thought I would like it.  I changed a couple of things in the recipe she gave me and really like the way it has turned out.  You can definitely taste the flavor of the jalapeno without all of the heat.  

JALAPENO GUAVA MARGARITA

1 bottle (750ml) tequila (100% Agave)

1 cup orange flavored liqueur

2 seeded jalapeno, seeded and sliced lengthwise

1½ cups lime juice

3 cups guava nectar

Place 2 whole jalapenos & tequila in a container. Cover with plastic wrap & set aside 1 day. Strain the tequila and discard jalapenos. Pour tequila into a pitcher or large punch bowl & add lime juice, orange flavored liqueur & guava juice. Stir to combine & chill in the refrigerator. Slice the remaining jalapeno thinly. Serve in glasses with salted rims, if desired, with a slice of jalapeno floating in the drink or on the rim of the glass.
