Guava Rose Quartz

Ingredients

Cocktail

• 1½ fl oz vodka
• 2 fl oz pink guava nectar
• ½ fl oz fresh lime juice
• ¼ fl oz prepared 1:1 simple syrup
• ⅛ tsp food-grade rosewater
• ½ fl oz aquafaba (liquid drained from canned chickpeas)
• 1 cup ice

Finish

• 1 small pink guava wedge

Optional homemade simple syrup

• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp hot water; use this with the sugar only if making syrup from scratch

Equipment

Shaker, fine strainer, chilled 7-fl-oz coupe

Allergens and ingredient notes: Alcohol, chickpeas; check nectar and spirit labels.

Measurements are US fluid ounces (fl oz), tablespoons (tbsp), and teaspoons (tsp). Syrup components may make extra: use only the drink quantity listed. These recipes contain alcohol and are intended for adults 21 and over.

Step by step

1. If making syrup, dissolve the optional sugar in its hot water and cool completely. Measure only ¼ fl oz for the drink; prepared syrup can be used instead, with the optional group omitted.
2. Add vodka, guava nectar, lime juice, measured syrup, food-grade rosewater, and aquafaba to a shaker without ice. Seal and shake for 15 seconds.
3. Add ice and shake for another 12–15 seconds. Fine-strain into the chilled coupe, let the foam settle briefly, and garnish with the guava wedge. Keep the rosewater to the measured amount.

The Devotti twist: Guava supplies the body and color; a small measured rosewater addition makes the aroma floral rather than perfumed.

Make ahead and storage

Shake immediately before serving. Refrigerate unused nectar and aquafaba according to their labels; homemade syrup keeps refrigerated for up to 3 days.
