Understand the flavours that make the entirety of this drink. Here are the main components of this guava lemonade spritzer to do so:
Guava Juice: What makes the base for a flavoured lemonade? If you answered juice, then that is correct! Here, guava juice lends its signature mild yet sweet, fruity taste to the drink. If you are using the pink guava in your lemonade, then the pink hue colour payoff elevates your drink further. Pink guavas may also have a higher hint of acidity. From the fragrance to the unique texture, there is every reason why the fruit, guava, deserves a spot on your lemonade recipe.
Lemon Juice: The key element to any lemonade drink is lemon juice. It is tart and citrusy. These properties allow it to pierce through the sweet notes of the juice, balancing the flavours in a way that brightens your palate. The combination of guava and lemon can also be a great way to boost the floral notes of the fruit. Freshly squeezed lemons are always recommended for the best natural zing. Moreover, if you are out of lemon juice, then, lime juice can be a close alternative.
Soda Water: Liven up your lemonades with the soda fizz. This ingredient is integral to any good spritzer and leaves a great mouthfeel with its light and bubbly texture. The addition of soda helps in diluting the guava and lemon juice, making the drink more enjoyable. If you do not have soda handy, you can always just use sparkling water as a substitute.
