# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • It tastes like you spent way more time thinking about it than the five minutes it actually takes.
  • The combination of tropical guava and delicate elderflower feels fancy without any of the fuss or pretension.
  • You can make a batch for a crowd without ever stepping away from the conversation.
02 -
  • Do not stir aggressively or you'll kill the bubbles, which are doing half the work of making this feel special.
  • The magic happens when everything is actually cold; room temperature champagne will make the whole thing feel flat and sad.
03 -
  • Buy the guava nectar at least a day ahead so it has time to get truly cold; warm nectar meeting cold champagne is a missed opportunity.
  • If you're making these for a crowd, measure out the guava and elderflower in advance, line up the flutes, and only add champagne at the last possible second to keep the bubbles doing their job.
