Is this margarita sweet?

If you are used to classic margaritas, this one will taste sweet. For a less sweet margarita, reduce or leave out the agave syrup and use a salt rim rather than a sugar one.

Can I double the tequila?

Yes. For a stronger drink, and an extra ½ oz to 1 oz of tequila.

How do I make this a guava margarita mocktail?

To make this a mocktail, leave out the alcohol or replace it with another fruit nectar such as mango or pineapple. You can also leave out the agave since it may be too sweet with it. Optionally, top with club soda for a bit of fizz.
