# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a beach getaway without leaving your kitchen or requiring a plane ticket.
  • Takes barely ten minutes but impresses everyone because it looks and tastes fancy, not basic.
  • Works for casual weeknights or fancy gatherings since it's equally refreshing and celebratory.
02 -
  • Never skip the fresh ice in the glass—it keeps the drink cold for those crucial first sips when the flavor is sharpest and most balanced.
  • If your guava nectar tastes too sweet or too mild, adjust the agave or lime juice rather than doubting the whole recipe, since brands vary wildly.
03 -
  • Make a batch in a pitcher for parties by multiplying the recipe and keeping it chilled, then pour over ice in pre-rimmed glasses when guests arrive so you're not shaking all night.
  • The salt or Tajín rim isn't just decoration—it genuinely changes how the drink tastes on your first sip, so don't skip it even if you're in a hurry.
