Iced Guava Passionfruit Drink (Printable)

Tropical iced drink with guava, passionfruit, and pineapple-ginger syrup for a refreshing summer beverage.

# What You'll Need:

→ Pineapple-Ginger Syrup

01 - 1/2 cup pineapple juice
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

→ Drink Base

04 - 1 cup guava nectar, chilled
05 - 1/2 cup passionfruit juice, chilled
06 - 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk, chilled
07 - 1/4 cup pineapple-ginger syrup
08 - 1 cup ice cubes

→ Garnish

09 - Pineapple wedges
10 - Edible flowers

# How to Cook:

01 - Combine pineapple juice, granulated sugar, and freshly grated ginger in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves completely. Continue simmering for 5 to 7 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container. Allow syrup to cool completely before using.
02 - In a cocktail shaker or large jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine chilled guava nectar, passionfruit juice, unsweetened coconut milk, and 1/4 cup of the cooled pineapple-ginger syrup. Add ice cubes, secure lid, and shake vigorously for 30 to 45 seconds until mixture is thoroughly blended and frothy.
03 - Fill two tall glasses with additional ice cubes. Pour the shaken mixture evenly between the glasses, dividing contents to ensure equal distribution of foam and flavor. Garnish with fresh pineapple wedges or edible flowers if desired. Serve immediately while chilled.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The homemade pineapple-ginger syrup is what elevates this from fruit juice to something you'd pay six dollars for at a fancy café
  • It comes together in under twenty minutes but tastes like you put way more effort into it
02 -
  • The syrup needs to cool completely before mixing, otherwise it will melt the ice too quickly and your drink will be watery
  • Shaking with ice isn't optional here—it creates the frothy texture that makes this taste professionally made
03 -
  • The ginger gets spicier the longer it sits in the syrup, so grate it right before you start cooking
  • If you're making these for a crowd, multiply everything and mix in a large pitcher instead of individual shakers
