Guava Mojito
Description
This Guava Mojito cocktail blends muddled fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar with lime juice to create a fragrant base. Adding white rum introduces the alcoholic component, and guava nectar contributes a fruity tropical flavor. Topping with soda water adds a refreshing fizz and dilutes the flavors to balance sweetness and acidity.
The preparation involves muddling to release mint oils without shredding the leaves excessively. Pouring ingredients over ice chills the drink, making it refreshing for warm weather. Garnishing with mint leaves enhances aroma and visual appeal.
This cocktail suits casual gatherings or relaxing occasions, offering an alternative twist on the classic mojito with the addition of guava flavor.
The included notes suggest preparing a simple mint-infused syrup for larger batches or using this mix to create non-alcoholic mocktails by omitting rum and adjusting other ingredients accordingly.
Ingredients
- 4 mint fresh sprigs
- 2 tsp granulated sugar
- lime juice of 1
- 3 ounces white rum
- 8 ounces guava nectar
- soda water
- mint to garnish, sprigs
Instructions
- In two highball glasses, muddle the sugar, mint sprigs, and lime juice.
- Add ice, then pour in 1.5 ounces of rum into each glass.
- Pour 4 ounces of guava nectar into each glass.
- Top each mojito off with sparkling water/soda water.
- Give a gentle stir with a mixer spoon and serve garnished with mint.
Notes
- To make larger batches or a pitcher, prepare a simple syrup infused with mint by simmering sugar, water, and mint leaves, then combine with rum, lime juice, guava nectar, and sparkling water.
- For a mocktail version, omit the rum and increase guava nectar or soda water to maintain volume and flavor balance.
