I’m on my A-game with experimenting with cocktails this summer. My schedule offers a lot more freedom over the summer so I have time to not just test out but try different recipes. This one for Guava-Rita cocktails has been major hit in the last two weeks with my friends and family. It is super sweet and will pair quite well with a Pastelito de Guava like we did this past weekend. I have also recently been turned on to Teremana Tequila while we were on vacation per a sales clerk at the Publix Liquors in Longboat Key. She said her husband has it all the time and another lady in the store told us it was the “Rock’s” – Dwayne Johnson’s tequila. It is so smooth and very much a quality, top-shelf tequila that you will love. Cheers and enjoy responsibly my friends!
