Ya guava be kidding me.

Guava is a tropical fruit that is sweet,full of vitamin C,and according to the internet,“the queen of fruits” because it’s supposed to have all kinds of health benefits. Why,just check out this fascinating chart:

So what’s the best way to add this miracle fruit to your diet? Why,in Tiki drinks of course!

Mix #131 PopTiki Volcano Mug

1oz Barbancourt 8yr rum
1oz Demerara rum
4oz pineapple juice
2oz guava nectar
1oz lemon juice
1/2oz passionfruit syrup
1/4oz orgeat

Shake with ice and pour into mug.

This was created by PopTiki with the volcano mug they put out to raise money for the Hawaii fire relief. Cool mug,good cause,meh drink. It’s very sweet and fruity with a strong guava taste. It’s a big drink that will slake your thirst,but all that sugar is a trip to hangover city. I actually started to feel something after drinking just the one cocktail. Have one if you like sweet drinks,but no more unless you want to feel it the next day.

Mix #132 Murky Lagoon

2oz Whaler’s Original Dark rum
3oz guava nectar
1/2oz falernum

Combine all ingredients in double old-fashioned glass with ice. Pour into shaker,shake,re-pour into glass.

From Frankie’s Tiki Room in Las Vegas. I used Coruba rum to make this because I didn’t have Whaler’s and every review I read about it said it sucked. Just use a good dark funky rum instead. It’s a nice sweet,funky drink that’s creamy and has a touch of spice aftertaste. Quite good with decent rum.

Mix #133 Aloha Screwdriver

3/4oz light rum
3/4oz Lemon Hart 151
3/4oz banana liqueur
1oz guava nectar
1oz pineapple juice
1/4oz Campari*
1/4oz allspice dram

Shake with ice and pour into glass.

*I used Aperol.

Created by one of my fav surf rock bands,it can be found in the liner notes of their album The Lost Recipe. Nice Demerara funk,a touch sweet with some banana and a bit of spice on the end. Quite nice with a bit of kick.

Mix #134 Blake’s Guava Grog

2oz Plantation OFTD
1oz guava nectar
3/4oz lime juice
1/4oz falernum
1/4oz allspice dram
1/4oz cinnamon syrup
2 dashes Angostura bitters

Shake with plenty of ice and pour into mug.

I found this Facebook user’s creation posted in the Tiki Recipes forum. Sweet and spicy with cinnamon burn and plenty of kick. A proper Tiki grog.

So drink up. The internet says it’s good for you,and you can’t put false things on the internet.
