Notes

  • Sweetness control: Start with 2 tablespoons of simple syrup, then add more to taste. Guava juices vary widely in sweetness.
  • Guava choice: Pink guava nectar gives the best color and flavor. If using guava purée, strain it for a smoother soda.
  • Carbonation tip: Always add the sparkling water last and stir gently to keep the soda fizzy.
  • Make-ahead: Simple syrup can be made up to 2 weeks in advance and stored refrigerated in a sealed container.
  • Serving temperature: Chill all ingredients before assembling for the best flavor and carbonation.
  • Mocktail base: This recipe works perfectly as a base for other flavors like mint, strawberry, or coconut.
