.TGIF.


This week has been a "margarita week". We've had things to celebrate {friends getting job offers} and things to need escape from {Cheyenne & Amelia both have colds} and it's officially spring! I thought that I would share a margarita recipe that's a twist on the original for something new. Since Cheyenne spent a good portion of his life in the tropics {St. Lucia in the Caribbean and the big island of Hawaii} he has a slight addiction to guava - this drink, created by Public in New York, is one of his favorites. Enjoy!



Red Chile Guava Margarita
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups Chile-Infused Tequila
1 1/2 cups Triple Sec
1 1/2 cups guava nectar
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 1/2 cups fresh lime juice
10 lime wedges
Salt, for rimming the glasses
Ice
10 small red chiles, for garnish (optional)

Directions:
Combine tequila, Triple Sec, guava nectar, orange juice, and lime juice in a pitcher and reserve in the refrigerator until ready to use.
To serve, rim a rocks glass with salt by rubbing a lime wedge around the outside and then dipping the glass in salt. Fill the glass with ice, add the margarita mixture, and garnish with a skewered chile pepper (if using).
