Guava After the Commute

Guava makes ginger beer feel rounder and more tropical, while lime gives the finish a sharper citrus note. The mixer still supplies a noticeable spicy edge, particularly with a strong brand. Stir the juice and lime together before pouring in the ginger beer. There’s usually enough sweetness between those ingredients already. It’s a fuller-flavored option for the end of the commute, with guava offering something different from the usual apple or lime pairing.

Ingredients

• 5 oz Ginger beer (non-alcoholic)
• 2 oz Guava juice
• 1/2 oz Lime juice

Make it

1. Add any fruit, herbs, spices, or syrup to a glass and gently press to release flavor.

3. Pour in the sparkling ingredient slowly and stir once. Serve immediately.

Benefits

Lime · a little vitamin C

Lime supplies some vitamin C for protecting cells from oxidative damage; pairing it with ginger and guava adds another layer to the flavor.

Make room for guava

Guava gives the ginger and lime a fragrant tropical sweetness—an aromatic pairing to serve freshly mixed, while the bubbles are lively.
