Common Questions

→ Can I make this ahead of time?

For the best carbonation and flavor, prepare this drink just before serving. The sparkling water will lose its fizz if stored, so mix right before enjoying.

→ What type of guava juice works best?

Use 100% pure guava juice without added sugars for the most authentic tropical flavor. Chilled juice works best as it keeps the drink cold without diluting it quickly.

→ Is the lime juice necessary?

Lime juice is optional but recommended. The bright acidity cuts through the sweetness and adds complexity. You can also try lemon or orange juice as alternatives.

→ Can I use other sparkling beverages?

Club soda, seltzer, or tonic water all work well. For a sweeter variation, try lemon-lime soda. Each will slightly alter the flavor profile and sweetness level.

→ How do I make an adult version?

Add 1 oz (30 ml) of white rum or gin per glass for an elevated spritzer. The clear spirits complement the tropical guava without overpowering its delicate flavor.

→ Can I double this recipe?

Yes, simply multiply all ingredients by the number of servings needed. The ratios stay consistent—equal parts guava juice and sparkling water with lime to taste.
