# Expert tips:

01 -
  • It takes literally five minutes to make, which means you can pour a glass before your guests even sit down.
  • The combination of guava's tropical sweetness and the sharp fizz of sparkling water feels like a treat without any guilt attached.
  • It works for any occasion, whether you're throwing a casual backyard gathering or just cooling down on an ordinary Tuesday.
02 -
  • If your guava juice is already sweetened with a lot of added sugar, the drink can tip from refreshing into cloying, so read that label before you buy.
  • Warm sparkling water tastes flat and sad—there's no coming back from that, so chill it in the fridge, never just throw in ice and hope.
03 -
  • Buy your guava juice a day ahead and chill it in the coldest part of your fridge so it's genuinely cold, not just cool, when you make the drink.
  • If you're making these for a group, pre-fill the glasses with ice and guava juice in the fridge, then add sparkling water just before serving so the carbonation stays alive.
