Guava Margarita with Watermelon
We’re out west for eight days and spending our time between Los Angeles and Anaheim, California.
Lately, our days consist of lounging poolside and sipping on homemade cocktails.
Not a bad gig, right? So, today I dug into my bag of mini-shots and pulled out one of my favorite go-to tequilas, Cazadores Reposado.
So far, so good. I peeked into the fridge and grabbed a chilled can of guava nectar, and from the fruit-bedecked countertop; I set to work slicing up fresh watermelon; I had something in mind.
Maybe it was the California sunshine, which we’ve had very little of with the rain showers.
But every so often, tendrils of west-coast sunshine make their way through the cloud cover just to remind us why we’re here.
We took a trip to the market a day ago and were almost overwhelmed by all the fresh and brightly colored produce. We saw strawberries of gargantuan proportions and unbelievable flavor.
The fresh basil is redolent with an incredible fragrance. We ended up with a basket laden with rainbow colors, fresh herbs, and a bounty of fruity sweetness.
Back at our temporary vacation home, I set about creating something a little off the beaten path but 100% inspired by the bounty of the endless California summer.
The Guava Watermelon Margarita is a dangerously delicious cocktail.
The tequila rides just beneath the guava and watermelon flavors; there is also a dash of sea salt, which cuts through the sweetness like the salty-dog current.
Check out the recipe below, and I’ll meet you in a California daydream.
