The Inky Guava mocktail is bold, dense, and unapologetically indulgent. This is not a light refresher - it’s a slow, luxurious pour built around texture as much as flavor. Guava juice forms the foundation, bringing weight, body, and a creamy tropical richness that immediately fills the palate. Pomegranate juice cuts straight through that softness with tannic dryness and gentle bitterness, adding structure and depth rather than sweetness.

A small hit of lemon sharpens the edges, keeping the drink from feeling heavy or flat. Served straight up in a chilled coupe, Inky Guava feels composed and intentional - the kind of mocktail that drinks like a cocktail. Deep pink in color and full-bodied in character, it’s designed for sipping, not rushing. This is fruit done seriously, with balance, contrast, and confidence.

Shaken or Stirred? Shaken. Shaking tightens the texture and integrates the thick guava with citrus and pomegranate evenly.
