# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The guava nectar creates this stunning sunset color that makes every pour feel special
  • Perfect balance of sweet and tart without being cloying like some fruity cocktails
02 -
  • Shaken drinks need significantly more ice than you think, underfilled shakers dilute too fast
  • Guava nectar varies wildly by brand, taste it first before deciding on agave amount
03 -
  • Chill your glasses in the freezer while you shake everything for an even better experience
  • If your guava nectar is very thick, add a splash of water to help it mix
