Some mocktails taste like a compromise. This one does not. This sparkling guava build is bright, aromatic, and structured like a real cocktail: fruit depth from pink guava, clean acidity from lemon, a soft herbal lift from lavender and sage, and tight seasoning from saline. Carbonation makes it feel lighter and more “grown-up” without adding alcohol.

Saline solution is a simple mix of salt (sodium chloride) and water. In beverage work, it is commonly prepared at about 18–22% salt by weight, because that strength lets you use it drop by drop to enhance flavor without making the drink taste obviously salty.

A gin-based cocktail, elegant, aromatic, and lightly sparkling. This serve is a French 75 riff built around tropical jackfruit notes, floral acacia honey, and a subtle herbal lift from Drambuie, finished with Prosecco for a crisp, celebratory texture. The inspiration comes from Michael Cheval’s surreal tribute, Lullaby of Uncle Magritte.
