Guava Rum Hideaway

Guava and lime make a fragrant tropical pairing for NA rum, with sparkling water keeping the pour lighter than a creamy island-style drink. Some rum alternatives have plenty of vanilla-like sweetness already, so check the bottle before judging the juice balance. Stir the guava and lime through the spirit first. The lime should give a clear tart edge, while the guava remains soft enough to sit comfortably beside the warmer rum-style flavors.

Ingredients

• 2 oz NA rum
• 4 oz Sparkling water
• 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.
2. Add the still liquids and ice. Stir to combine.
3. Pour in the sparkling ingredient slowly and stir once. Serve immediately.

Benefits

Lime · a little vitamin C

The 1/2 oz of lime juice adds some vitamin C for absorbing iron from plant foods, with NA rum and guava rounding out the flavor.

Guava · more than a sweet mixer

With NA rum and lime in the glass, the measured guava contributes a fragrant tropical sweetness as an accent to the fizz.

Check every NA product’s ABV. Choose clearly labeled 0.0% ingredients if you want to avoid trace alcohol.
