Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 cups guava nectar use chilled
- 2 cup chilled sparkling water Use plain or citrus flavored
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon chaat masala or to taste
- 8-10 fresh mint leaves
For Garnishes and Serving
- 2 cup ice cubes
- Lemon slices for garnish
- Fresh mint sprigs for garnish
- 1 teaspoon chili lime seasoning for rimming the glasses
Instructions
- Start by filling a pitcher with ice. Add the guava nectar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and chaat masala. Stir well so the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Lightly clap or rub the mint leaves between your palms. This helps release their aroma without completely crushing them. Add them in.
- Top with chilled sparkling water. Give the drink one gentle stir. Avoid stirring too vigorously because you want to keep as much carbonation as possible.
- Taste and adjust if needed. Add another squeeze of lemon for more brightness or a tiny pinch of chaat masala for a stronger Indian flavor.
- How to rim the glass: Run a lemon wedge around the outer edge of each glass. Pour the chili-lime seasoning onto a small plate. Dip the rim into the seasoning and gently twist until coated.
- Fill the glass with ice, then pour the guava mocktail. Serve immediately. Cheers!
Notes
Adjust chaat masala according to the brand and your taste.
For a sweeter drink, use a sweeter guava nectar.
For a tangier drink, add another squeeze of fresh lemon.
Add sparkling water just before serving for the best fizz.
To make a party pitcher, multiply the ingredients and add sparkling water just before serving.
Use Chilled Guava Nectar so the drink tastes ice cold and refreshing.
