The light and bubbly nature of mimosas complements sweet and savory brunch options.

What is Guava Juice?

Guava juice is a delicious and nutritious sweet juice made from tropical guava fruit. It boasts a unique flavor profile that perfectly blends sweet and tangy. It is an exotic fruit native to Central and South America and is often available in grocery stores.

In Venezuela, GUAYABAS (Venezuelan name for Guavas) are a staple, and when in season, this delicious fruit is consumed daily in juices and various desserts. Having a Guava tree in Venezuelan backyards is very common, just like other tropical fruit trees like Mango and avocado.

What does Guava Juice taste like?

Guava juice has a sweet and tangy flavor, often described as a combination of strawberry and mango, creating a tropical blend of flavors. The level of sweetness and tanginess can vary depending on the variety of guava used.

Where can I find Guava Juice?

Guava juice can be found in most grocery stores, particularly those with a large international food section. You can also find guava juice online or at specialty stores. Look for 100% pure guava juice without added sugar for the best flavor.

What alcohol is best for Mimosas?

For the best Guava Mimosas, these sparkling wines have a delicate balance of acidity and sweetness that pairs perfectly with guava juice's sweet and tangy flavor.

BRUT CHAMPAGNE (France) bottle is your go-to choice. The dry and crisp nature of Brut champagne complements the sweet and tangy flavor of guava juice, creating a delicious and refreshing drink.

How to make Guava Mimosas

Making Guava Mimosas is as easy as 1-2-3. Here's what you need to know:

Preparing-Guava-mimosas-in-flute-glass-with-guava-paste-garnish

Chill Your Ingredients: Ensure the champagne and guava nectar are well-chilled. Place your champagne glasses in the freezer for an extra frosty touch.
Pour Guava Nectar: Fill each champagne flute one-third of the way with guava nectar (or more, depending on your preferred level of sweetness).

Top with Champagne: Slowly pour chilled champagne over the guava nectar until they are complete. Leave some space at the top for garnishes.
Garnish with Mint leaves and some Guava, if desired. Add a few fresh mint leaves for a burst of aroma and color. I garnish with small skewers made of mini–Guava Paste cubes, adding vibrant color and an exquisite, sweet finish.

Serve and Sip: Cheers to your new favorite tropical mimosa! The tangy and sweet taste will make this a crowd-pleaser. Pair these Mimosas with this Crostini with Fig Jam Appetizer

Recipe variations:

Give your Guava Mimosas a unique twist with these variations:

Try other tropical fruit juices: Pineapple, passion fruit, or mango juices can add different flavors to your mimosa. Or try pureed strawberries for a strawberry mimosa.
Non-Alcoholic Mimosa: For a refreshing, non-alcoholic version, replace the champagne with ginger beer, lemon-lime soda, sparkling lemonade, sparkling water, sparkling cider, or club soda.
Add a Splash of Triple Sec: Elevate your mimosa by adding a splash of Triple Sec for a citrusy kick.

Guava Mimosa Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Make Mimosas ahead of time?

You can prepare the ingredients ahead of time and assemble them just before serving. Keep the champagne and guava nectar refrigerated until you're ready to pour. If mixed ahead of time, the champagne will lose its fizz if it sits too long.

Should a Mimosa be served with ice?

Traditionally, mimosas are served chilled and don't typically include ice. The previously chilled champagne and guava nectar provide a refreshing experience without diluting the flavors.

What are the health benefits of Guava Juice?

Guava juice is not only delicious but also packed with health benefits. It's rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, making it an excellent addition to your diet.
