# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes literally five minutes from start to finish, which means you can whip it up when friends surprise you on a hot afternoon
  • The combination is somehow more than the sum of its parts, that guava flavor becomes something entirely different and special with those bubbles
02 -
  • The ratio matters, too much sparkling water and you lose that gorgeous guava flavor, too much juice and it feels heavy instead of refreshing
  • Lime juice isn't just for show, it's the secret ingredient that makes this taste like something you'd order at a fancy tropical cafe
03 -
  • Pour the sparkling water down the side of the glass instead of directly into the juice to preserve maximum carbonation
  • If making ahead, mix everything except the sparkling water and add that just before serving
