Frozen Guava Margarita

Ingredients

• 1 cup guava juice
• Lime wedges, for rimming the glass and garnish
• Margarita salt, if desired
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1/4 cup sliver tequila
• 1 tablespoon Triple Sec or other orange flavored liqueur
• 1 tablespoon simple syrup, recipe follows

Directions

Pour the guava juice into an ice cube tray and freeze overnight. (One cup of juice should make 8 standard ice cubes.)

Rub a lime wedge around the edge of a margarita glass and dip immediately in the margarita salt, turning to coat. Place the glass in the freezer for 10 minutes.

In a blender, combine the lime juice, tequila, Triple Sec, simple syrup, and guava ice cubes and pulse until smooth. Pour into the prepared glass, garnish with a lime wedge, and serve immediately.

Simple Syrup:

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup water

Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil mixture for 2 minutes, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and cool completely.

Yield: enough for 4 margaritas
