Vodka Guava Lemonade

If you like guava as much as I do, then this is Vodka Guava Lemonade probably going to be your new favorite drink. I did not know that my local grocery store in New York carried Guava Nectar until I stumbled upon it in a dark corner near the produce section. When I found it, I immediately knew I had to buy it and create something with it. And with COVID still going on plus this extremely hot summer, I figured a new drink is what everyone needs. 

What is Guava Nectar? 

Guava Nectar is a non-carbonated beverage created from the pulp of the guava fruit giving it the guava flavor. You can either use it to mix it with other ingredients to make cocktails or drink it on its own. I am going to forewarn you, that if you love guava, you may be drinking this nectar straight from the bottle. 

Is Guava nectar healthy? 

Do not concern yourself with this answer because after a few drinks I don’t think it will matter. But in all honesty, guava nectar is rich in vitamin C, a great source of fiber, and is good for the digestive system. So, think of this drink as something good you are doing for your body. Also, if you are on a health kick, I would add light lemonade instead of regular to make it slightly healthier. 

What brands make Guava Nectar?

There are many different brands that make guava nectar such as Kern’s, Jumex, and Goya. Here is a link to amazon with all he different brands.

How do you make Vodka Guava Lemonade?  

Making this drink is actually pretty easy and can be whipped up for any guest. It only takes four ingredients, some ice and a shaker. First, take the leaves of two stems of mint and put them in a shaker. After, add your guava nectar and muddle the mint leaves. Add your vodka and ice and shake it up. Strain the drink into a cup filled with ice. Top it off with lemonade and enjoy!
