Spicy Guava Margarita Cocktail Recipe

When it comes to the classic Mexican cocktail that is a margarita, I’ve got thoughts. I like mixing up a classic margarita on the rocks or a Cadillac Margarita recipe, but this Guava Margarita is inspired by a road trip I took from Los Angeles to Austin, which went down in a Mazda 5 rental. So, it seemed fitting to tweak the Cadillac on the road by adding a touch of Mexican soda and re-coining it the Mazda 5.
