Something that tastes this good and is so simple to make should be illegal. Or nah. No it shouldn’t be illegal. It should be mandatory though, that it be five o’ clock somewhere when you’re sipping on this sultry sipper. Whether that be in a mental or physical state, well, I’ll leave that for you to decide. Who am I to tell you what’s too early?
I hope you enjoy the following drink recipe. The guava puree saves well. I would recommend freezing a good portion of the leftovers – in ice cube trays. The frozen cubes can invigorate a standard glass of water, or they can be used for future adaptions of the Guava Fresca Drink.
What is a Guava?
Guava is a tropical fruit that is native to Central America, but is now cultivated in many parts of the world with suitable climates.
Guavas have a unique flavor that is often described as a combination of sweet and tart. The taste can vary depending on the variety and ripeness of the fruit. Ripe guavas are known for their aromatic and tropical fragrance, which adds to the overall sensory experience.
Guavas can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. They can be eaten fresh, simply by cutting the fruit in half and scooping out the flesh with a spoon. Guavas can also be used in various culinary applications, such as making juices, smoothies, jams, jellies, desserts, and even savory dishes. The sweet and tangy flavor of guava pairs well with other tropical fruits, as well as ingredients like lime, coconut, and mint.

Guava Fresca Drink (with Tequila)
4
servings10
minutes20
minutesFresh pink guava puree combined with tequila, Fresca, and fresh squeezed lime juice creates this wonderfully delightful cocktail
Ingredients
1 pound pink guavas (10-12)
1 cup sugar
2 whole limes, juiced
4 cans Fresca (8 oz)
1 bottle blanco tequila
1 lime sliced
Directions
- Peel and halve the guavas. Add them to a blender, along with 3/4 cup sugar, the juice of 2 limes, and 2 cups of coconut water. Blend until pureed, 1-2 minutes. The texture should be thick and syrupy.
- Strain the puree through a colander to remove the guava seeds. Transfer to a container and refrigerate. I added some to an ice tray and froze cubes for use in future adaptations of this drink.
- Add 2 tbsp of the guava puree to a drink glass. Add 2 ounces of blanco tequila. Fill the remainder of the glass with Fresca. Top with a little squeeze of lime juice, and mix thoroughly. I used grapefruit flavor for this particular version, but any flavor will suffice. (If the puree and/or fresca aren’t chilled, then fill the drink glass with a few ice cubes).
