Iced Guava Passionfruit Drink (Print-Friendly)

Tropical iced blend of guava, passionfruit, and coconut milk with sweet pineapple-ginger syrup for a refreshing fruity treat.

# 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, optional
10 - Edible flowers, optional

# How To Make It:

01 - In a small saucepan, combine pineapple juice, sugar, and freshly grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar completely. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes until slightly thickened. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove ginger solids. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool completely before using.
02 - In a cocktail shaker or large mason jar with tight-fitting lid, add chilled guava nectar, passionfruit juice, unsweetened coconut milk, and 1/4 cup cooled pineapple-ginger syrup. Fill with ice cubes, seal tightly, and shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds until well blended and frothy.
03 - Divide mixture evenly between two tall glasses filled with fresh ice cubes. Pour until each glass is nearly full, ensuring even distribution of juice and coconut milk.
04 - Top each glass with a pineapple wedge or edible flower if desired. Insert a straw, serve immediately, and stir before drinking to redistribute ingredients.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in under 20 minutes, which means you can make café-quality drinks whenever the craving hits without leaving your house.
  • The homemade syrup tastes infinitely better than bottled versions and fills your kitchen with the most incredible ginger-pineapple aroma.
  • It's naturally vegan and dairy-free, so you're not sacrificing flavor or texture for dietary preferences.
02 -
  • Cool your syrup completely before mixing it into the drink, or it'll melt all your ice and water everything down into a sad, diluted version of what it should be.
  • Shake the drink vigorously rather than gently stirring—the vigorous shaking creates that delicate frothy texture on top and ensures the coconut milk gets evenly distributed instead of settling.
03 -
  • Make the syrup ahead of time and store it in a jar in your fridge for up to a week—it's the ultimate shortcut for looking like you spent more time in the kitchen than you actually did.
  • Use a cocktail shaker instead of a regular jar if you have one; it creates that professional café texture and makes the whole experience feel a little more luxurious.
