Common Questions
- → Can I make this drink ahead of time?
Yes, you can mix the juices and coconut milk up to 24 hours in advance. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and shake well before serving over ice.
- → Is there a substitute for coconut milk?
You can use almond milk, cashew milk, or oat milk for a lighter version. For a creamier alternative, try half-and-half or heavy cream if dietary restrictions allow.
- → How can I make this into a frozen treat?
Pour the mixture into ice pop molds and freeze for 4-6 hours. Alternatively, blend with extra ice for a slushy texture that's perfect for hot weather.
- → Can I use fresh fruit instead of juice?
Absolutely. Blend fresh guava and passionfruit pulp with a little water, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Adjust sweetener as fresh fruit may be more tart.
- → How do I adjust the sweetness level?
Taste before adding sweetener since juice brands vary in sweetness. Start with 1 tablespoon of simple syrup or agave and add more gradually until it reaches your preferred level.
