Vibrant tropical iced drink with guava, passionfruit, and 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, cooled
08 - 1 cup ice cubes

→ Garnish

09 - Pineapple wedges
10 - Edible flowers

# Step-by-Step:

01 - In a small saucepan, combine pineapple juice, granulated sugar, and freshly grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the 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 let cool completely before using.
02 - In a cocktail shaker or large jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the chilled guava nectar, passionfruit juice, unsweetened coconut milk, and 1/4 cup of the cooled pineapple-ginger syrup. Add ice cubes and secure the lid tightly.
03 - Shake the sealed shaker or jar vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds until the mixture is well combined and develops a light frothy top.
04 - Pour the beverage evenly into two tall glasses filled with fresh ice cubes. Top each glass with pineapple wedges or edible flowers if desired. Serve immediately while cold and frothy.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You can make the syrup ahead and feel like a fancy barista without leaving your kitchen.
  • It's naturally vegan and dairy-free, so it works for pretty much anyone at the table.
  • The ginger adds this unexpected warmth that keeps it from tasting like pure sugar—it's actually balanced and refreshing.
02 -
  • Chill your guava nectar and passionfruit juice beforehand—warm fruit juices will melt your ice before you even get a proper sip.
  • The pineapple-ginger syrup is the thing you can actually plan ahead; make it a day or two early and it keeps perfectly in the fridge for up to a week.
03 -
  • Use a cocktail shaker if you have one—the vigorous shaking creates that silky froth that makes it taste premium and feel more indulgent than it actually is.
  • Fresh ginger is non-negotiable; it's what gives you that complexity and keeps this from tasting like you just poured juice over ice.
