El Macua (Cocktail) image

! This fruity concoction was named el Macuá, after a tropical bird found in Central America an is the Nicaraguan national drink! The drink is one part white rum, one part guava juice, with a half-portion of lemon juice and some sugar and ice. Hopefully you can use Rum from Nicaragua but since I always have Bacardi on hand, that is what I used. I wasn't able to actually find the exact amounts for this drink. All of the recipes just said equal parts etc. Adjust this if you need to but keep the portions as stated above to keep it authentic!

I found this drink to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some more lime juice next time.

This drink is a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less grenadine next time.

I'm not sure I like the cinnamon on top. I think I'll try it without next time.

I'm not a big fan of grenadine, so I used a splash of cranberry juice instead. It was still really good!

I added a splash of coconut cream to mine and it was amazing.
