# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It feels fancy enough for guests but takes literally five minutes, which means you can actually enjoy your brunch instead of being stuck at the bar.
  • The elderflower and guava combination tastes like you discovered it at some exclusive resort, but it's just three ingredients doing their thing together.
  • Guava nectar adds a gorgeous sunset color that makes any table feel instantly more intentional.
02 -
  • Never add the champagne first or let it sit too long before serving, because the bubbles are what make this drink special and they disappear fast.
  • If your ingredients aren't cold enough, the whole thing becomes lukewarm and disappointing, so spend the two minutes chilling everything beforehand.
03 -
  • Measure your pours using an actual jigger or measuring spoon so you get consistent flavor every time, not guesswork that varies between glasses.
  • If you can find guava slices that are paper-thin, they're worth the effort because they look restaurant-quality and actually catch light in the glass.
