Equipment

  • Immersion Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 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)

Instructions
 

  • 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!

Guava Float For a Party

  • 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!
