Guys, it’s been SO hot here in NYC! I think the temperature is dropping to something a little more reasonable tomorrow but the past two days have been brutal with it being over 90 degrees. I wasn’t prepared for summer weather so soon. That’s why I needed something cold, especially because we dont have AC in our house yet. I saw Mexican guavas at my local fruit market and decided to make a delicious daiquiri variation.
I love Mexican guavas because they’re easier to work with, small, sweet and perfect for cocktails. You don’t have to remove the skin, although try to remove as much of the seeds as possible because they will change the texture of your drink.
Frozen Coconut Guava Daiquiri, serves 1
1 1/2 oz. Dark Rum
1 oz. Lime Juice
3/4 oz. Coconut Milk
1/2 oz. Simple Syrup
2 small guavas
Add all your ingredients to your blender pitcher, add ice, and blend on smoothie setting. Pour into your desired serving vessel and garnish with a guava slice.
Natalie, this is daiquiri is amazing! I love anything tropical, guava is one of my fav fruits. My friend’s neighbor has a guava tree in the backyard that gives wonderful fruits. I’m going to have to steal some to make this cocktail 😀 I absolutely love your styling and photography as well!
Hi Trang! Thanks so much for the kind words. I love tropical drinks too, so this drink is right up your alley. If you get some guavas from your neighbor let me know how it turns out. That’s awesome to have a guava tree on hand! 🙂
