Ingredients:
120ml YBY Rosé Sparkling Wine
60ml Fruto Guava juice
30ml lime juice
2-3 fresh mint leaves
Ice cubes
Guava slice or lime wheel (for garnish)
Mint sprig (for garnish)
Instructions:
Ensure both the Rosé sparkling wine and guava juice are well chilled.
Take a tall tumbler or wine glass and add a few ice cubes.
Lightly muddle the fresh mint leaves to release their flavour. This can be done in a cocktail shaker, or by hand using a pestle and mortar. Be gentle—you just want to bruise the leaves, not break them apart.
Add the guava juice, lime juice, and simple syrup (if using) to the shaker with the mint. Shake lightly for 5 seconds. If you don't have a shaker, use a jug or mixing bowl and stir until well combined.
Strain the guava and lime juice mixture into your glass with ice.
Gently pour the chilled Rosé sparkling wine over the mixture. Give it a slight stir to combine the flavours.
Garnish with a slice of fresh guava or a lime wheel on the rim of the glass and a mint sprig for a refreshing aroma.
Tips:
To use a full bottle of YBY Sparkling Wine and Fruto Guava juice, multiply the ingredient quantities by 6 to create enough for 6-7 servings!
For an extra refreshing twist, blend the juice and lime mixture with ice before pouring into the glass and adding the sparkling wine, stirring gently as to not lose the fizz from the wine. This boozy slushie is sure to keep you cool on a warm summer's day.
