About This Drink

Pink guava is the fruit of Indian streets — sold by vendors with salt and red chilli as an afternoon snack. Tamarind Tribeca brings it into the bar with this fresh, layered mocktail that lets the guava's natural floral sweetness dominate.

Bartender's Tips

Pink guava gives a rose-blush colour. If using fresh guavas, blend the flesh and pass through a fine sieve to remove seeds. Roasted cardamom (dry-roasted then ground) is noticeably more aromatic than pre-ground.
