Instructions
- Prepare the Glass Rim: On a small plate, combine equal parts coarse salt, raw sugar, shredded coconut, and a pinch of lime zest to create the rimming mixture. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass to moisten it, then carefully dip the glass into the mixture to coat the rim evenly. Set the glass aside for later.
- Mix the Margarita: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the guava purée, coconut cream, fresh lime juice, and tequila. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and slightly frothy.
- Strain into Glass: Fill your prepared glass with fresh ice cubes. Strain the margarita mixture from the shaker into the glass, ensuring a smooth pour without ice shards.
- Add Sparkling Water: For a refreshing fizz, add a splash of sparkling water to the margarita in the glass. This step is optional but recommended to enhance the drink’s texture and effervescence.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the cocktail with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim or in the glass. Serve immediately while the drink is cold and vibrant.

- Adjust the amount of tequila according to your preferred strength.
- The rimming mixture can be customized by adding chili powder for a spicy kick.
- Sparkling water is optional but adds a delightful fizz to the drink.
