Guava Mojito
Guava Mojito mixes fresh mint, lime juice, white rum, and guava nectar topped with sparkling soda water. Muddling the mint with sugar and lime releases aromatic oils and balances flavors. The guava nectar adds tropical sweetness, while soda water gives a light effervescence. The drink is garnished with mint sprigs for aroma and presentation.
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.
