How To Make A Pink Guava Refresher With Kratom Drink Mix

Making this Pink Guava Refresher with Kratom drink mix takes just a few simple steps.

1. Fill a Glass With Ice: Add about 1 cup of ice to a 12-ounce glass.

2. Add the Guava Drink Mix: Add one serving of KRATOMade Guava Drink Mix to the glass.

3. Pour in the Sparkling Water: Slowly add 10 ounces of sparkling water. Pouring it gradually helps preserve the carbonation.

4. Add Fresh Lime Juice: Squeeze in ½ to 1 ounce of fresh lime juice. Use less for a milder citrus flavor or more if you prefer a tarter refresher.

5. Add the Mint: Add a few fresh mint leaves and gently stir the ingredients together.

Tips For Making The Best Pink Guava Refresher

A few small details can make the finished drink taste fresher and more balanced.

  • Chill the sparkling water: Cold sparkling water makes the drink more refreshing.

  • Use fresh lime: Freshly squeezed lime delivers the brightest, citrusy flavor.

  • Pour slowly: Add sparkling water gradually to preserve the bubbles.

  • Stir gently: Over-stirring can flatten the carbonation.

  • Use plenty of ice: A full glass of ice keeps the drink cold as you sip.

  • Serve immediately: The refresher is best while it's fresh and fizzy.
