Fill highball (tall) glass with ice. Mix lime soda, lemonade, guava nectar, and grenadine syrup together to form a mixture. Pour rum into glasses over ice, then evenly layer the guava mixture over the rum. Mix as desired. Garnish with a half-slice of lemon.[1]
Notes
Lemonade or lime soda can be replaced with non-carbonated beverages based on preference. The traditional Cuban version of the cocktail does not include grenadine, replacing it with an equivalent amount (2 cl, 1.5 parts) of extra guava nectar. Guava nectar can be replaced with boiled-down guava juice thickened with sugar for a more watery cocktail.[1]
The drink is made from rum and a mixture of lime soda, lemonade, guava nectar, and grenadine syrup.[2][1] It originated in either Havana or Varadero as a variety of a traditional Cuban guava-based drink. In Cuba, the drink is commonly served (along with either a Cubata or Mojito) as a pre-dinner drink. The Cuban variety of the cocktail commonly uses extra guava nectar in place of grenadine syrup, and the drink normally contains Havana Club rum.[1] Outside of Cuba, many recipes call for the use of Bacardi White Rum.[2][3][1]
