Recipe Q&A

→ Can I make this without alcohol?

Yes, simply omit the white rum and increase the guava nectar or add extra club soda for a delicious virgin version.

→ What type of rum works best?

White rum is traditional for mojitos as it provides a clean, light flavor that doesn't overpower the fresh guava and mint.

→ Can I use fresh guava instead of nectar?

While fresh guava is delicious, you'll need to blend and strain it first to achieve a smooth consistency similar to nectar.

→ How do I adjust the sweetness?

Taste the mixture before adding ice. Add more sugar or simple syrup if needed, remembering that club soda will slightly dilute sweetness.

→ What glass should I use?

A highball glass works perfectly as it provides enough room for crushed ice and club soda while showcasing the beautiful pink color.
