# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes five minutes and tastes like you've put in actual effort, which is the best kind of kitchen magic.
  • The bubbles soften the guava's intensity in a way that makes you want to drink it all afternoon without feeling guilty.
02 -
  • Warm guava juice is a tragedy waiting to happen, so taste it straight from the fridge before mixing or you'll wonder why it tastes flat and syrupy.
  • The ratio is everything, too much juice makes it cloying, too much water and you've lost what made you excited about drinking this in the first place.
03 -
  • Buy guava juice from the juice aisle not the cocktail mix section, the difference in taste is the difference between a real drink and something pretending to be one.
  • If you're making multiple servings, chill your glasses in the freezer for five minutes before assembling, it extends how long everything stays crisp and cold.
