Guava marg for cinco de mayo

Big flavors, fresh citrus, and plenty of tequila—Cinco de Mayo is here.

In the newest episode of Sip & Stay—our video series featuring longtime Columbus bartender and Brown-Forman brand ambassador Pete Wagner—you’ll learn how to make a festive cocktail just in time for the holiday at Cuco’s Taqueria. Known for its vibrant atmosphere and bold, authentic flavors, the local favorite sets the perfect stage for a drink that’s just as lively.

Joined by Cuco’s bartender Renee, Pete walks through a step-by-step guide to crafting a guava margarita with a tropical twist. The cocktail blends 2 oz of Tequila, 1/2 oz Aperol, 1/2 oz simple syrup, 1 oz fresh lime juice, and 2 oz guava syrup with a tangy Tajín rim for balance. Sweet, citrusy, and perfect for Cinco de Mayo.

You can watch the newest episode of Sip & Stay below, featuring Pete on site at Cuco’s Taqueria, for step-by-step instructions to make your own guava margarita.
