A gin fizz is a sour-based cocktail with the addition of sparkling water and lemon juice.  A gin fizz is a great cocktail to have up your sleeve for summer entertaining. It is fresh, light, refreshing and features gin, which is always a hit.  The classic gin fizz features fresh lemon juice with sugar or a simple syrup.  I prefer to use lime juice and make a fruit based simple syrup for a festive spin on this classic cocktail.

When I think of summer entertaining guavas are one of my favorite fruits. They can be easily blended in aguas fresco, made into lemonade and are wonderful used to create marinades.  I halved four guavas, removed the seeds with a spoon and incorporate them into my simple syrup.  A quick run through the blender, strained and you are ready to shake up your guava gun fizz.

A cocktail shaker filled with ice, gin, lime juice and your guava simple syrup, now we shake. Shake, shake and serve over ice. From there, in goes some “fizz” with a splash of sparkling water and your done!  In this cocktail I sued Perrier L’Orange. The newest addition to Perrier’s all-natural flavored sparkling mineral waters give my gin fizz a light, citrus note which complements the guava.  Perrier L’Orange is infused with natural orange essence, contain no sugar and is zero calorie, making it a wonderful addition to your summer cocktail bar.

This guava gin fizz has is light with a sour citrus flavor that allows the gin to shine through, go with a quality gin you enjoy to create a well balanced cocktail.
