I love making mocktails that are easy, refreshing, and a bit different from the usual picks. If you’re after a fruity drink that feels special but skips the alcohol, my Pink Guava Soda Mocktail’s a solid choice.

The pink color and gentle bubbles make it ideal for gatherings, family events, or even just a treat at home. Sometimes, I want a drink that’s bright and sweet, but doesn’t feel heavy.

A pink guava mocktail uses fresh juice and basic ingredients, so you get flavor without fuss. It comes together fast and honestly, you probably have most things on hand already.

Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Serving Size 12

Equipment

  • Tall glass (12 to 16 oz)
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Citrus juicer (manual or electric)
  • Bar spoon or long stirring spoon
  • Fine mesh strainer (optional, for pulp)
  • Ice cube tray
  • Muddler (if adding fresh herbs or fruit)
  • Small plate or bowl (for garnishing rims, optional)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pink guava juice store-bought or homemade
  • ½ cup club soda or plain sparkling water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1-2 teaspoons sugar or simple syrup adjust to taste
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh mint leaves optional, for garnish
  • Pink salt or sugar optional, for rim
  • Lime wedges or slices for garnish

Instructions

  • If I’m going for a rim garnish, I run a lime wedge around the glass and dip the edge into pink salt or sugar.
  • Fill the glass with ice cubes.
  • Pour in 1 cup of pink guava juice.
  • Add 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice.
  • Stir in 1-2 teaspoons sugar or simple syrup until it’s dissolved.
  • Slowly pour in ½ cup club soda—don’t rush it, or you’ll lose the fizz.
  • Give it one gentle stir with your bar spoon.
  • Top with a few mint leaves and a lime wedge for garnish.
  • Serve right away while it’s still bubbly.

Notes

For best flavor, I go for ripe pink guavas if I’m making juice at home. If fresh isn’t an option, I just grab a good-quality, 100% pink guava juice from the store.
Chilling everything before mixing helps keep the ice from melting too fast. I always taste and adjust the sweetness since guava juice can be all over the place, flavor-wise.
Sometimes I add a pinch of salt—it really perks up the flavors if you like a balance of sweet and tart. Mint or basil both work as garnishes, and occasionally I’ll muddle a few leaves for extra aroma.
If I’m making these for a crowd, I mix up a big batch and pour over ice just before serving. That way, it stays fresh and fizzy.

Must Have Ingredients

Tasting Notes

First sip of the Pink Guava Soda Mocktail? There’s a gentle, natural sweetness, and this light tartness that keeps it from being cloying. The guava flavor actually comes through—fresh, not syrupy.

What stands out most:

  • That tropical pink guava vibe
  • Subtle fizz from the soda
  • A refreshing citrus edge if you add lime

The bubbles really lift the fruit flavors. Each sip feels crisp and clean.

Texture is smooth with a little sparkle from the carbonation. There’s a slight tang left on my tongue after each sip.

Over ice, the coldness brings out the fruit even more. If you go for mint or a citrus slice, there’s this fresh scent every time you lift the glass.

Substitute

Sometimes I just don’t have pink guava juice sitting around. When that happens, I reach for other fruit juices that taste good and honestly work just fine in this mocktail.

Here are some options I recommend:

  • White guava juice (if you can find it)
  • Watermelon juice
  • Pineapple juice
  • Lychee juice

If I’m missing some ingredients or tools, I just make do with what I’ve got.

Equipment substitutes I use:

  • No cocktail shaker? I grab a jar with a tight lid and call it a day.
  • No strainer? I try to pour slowly to keep out the pulp and ice. It’s not perfect, but it works.

Ingredient substitutions:

  • Lemon juice instead of lime juice
  • Sparkling mineral water instead of soda water
  • Honey or agave syrup instead of sugar or simple syrup
  • I always taste the mix before adding any sweetener. Sometimes the fruit juice is already sweet enough.
  • If I can’t use ice, I make sure my fruit juice and soda are properly chilled before mixing.
  • For garnish, I just use whatever fresh fruit or herbs are around—mint, basil, maybe an orange slice if I’m feeling fancy.
