Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To maintain the best flavor and carbonation, ensure that all liquids—the guava nectar, liqueur, and champagne—are thoroughly chilled before mixing. Use a bar spoon to stir very gently, as over-stirring can cause the cocktail to lose its bubbles.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a non-alcoholic version, substitute elderflower syrup for the liqueur and use sparkling water or non-alcoholic sparkling wine. You can also adjust the amounts of guava nectar and elderflower liqueur to taste if you prefer a sweeter or lighter cocktail.

Recipe FAQ

Can I make this non-alcoholic?
