Creamy Guava Float
A refreshing, sweet, and creamy tropical drink that is a tribute to the simply perfect Hawaiian Sun Guava Nectar. Fresh mango puree brings the tropical vibes over the top, and a sprinkling of pearl sugar gives this drink a delightful crunchy surprise!
Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 5 minutes mins
Total Time 10 minutes mins
- 2 Cups Guava Nectar Guava Juice also works
- 1 1/3 Cups Club Soda
- 1 Ripe Ataulfo Mango (optional)
- 2 Scoops Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
- 1 Tbsp Swedish Pearl Sugar (optional)
Chill two tall glasses in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Peel and slice the ripe mango. I prefer to use a potato peeler to remove the skin. I find this allows you to avoid wasting any of that sweet, fruity gold! Remove the fruit from the seed using your knife. Slice it into strips.
Place half of the mango into a bowl. Using an immersion blender, blend the mango into a creamy puree. Alternatively, you can use a fork to mash the mango into a puree, but you will not get the same smooth texture. If your mango isn't very sweet, you may need to add a teaspoon of sugar.
Remove the chilled glasses from the fridge. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the mango puree into each of your glasses. Pour the guava juice into each glass.
Add in the club soda and give it a quick stir! Taste it! If it needs a little more nectar or soda, feel free to add a little extra to taste.
Top each glass with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Add a slice of fresh mango to the rim, and sprinkle the pearl sugar on top. Serve immediately, and enjoy a little trip to the islands!

This recipe is easy to double for a party! Use a blender to blend 3 mangoes and 3 cups of guava nectar til smooth. Pour the guava mango blend into 6 serving glasses.
Pour 3 cups of guava nectar evenly into glasses. Pour 6 cups of club soda evenly into glasses. Taste the blend! If it needs more guava nectar or club soda, add it to taste.
Add one scoop of vanilla ice cream into each glass. Sprinkle with pearl sugar and serve!
