# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes five minutes and tastes like you've put real thought into refreshment.
  • The tropical sweetness balanced with bright carbonation hits different on a warm day or whenever you need a pick-me-up.
  • It's naturally vegan and gluten-free, so everyone at the table can actually enjoy it together.
02 -
  • Never use warm sparkling water or juice straight from the counter—the temperature difference ruins the entire experience and makes the drink taste dull.
  • The lime juice isn't just optional flavor; it's what prevents this from tasting like overly sweet tropical juice and makes it taste like an intentional drink.
03 -
  • The ratio of juice to sparkling water can shift based on how you feel that day—more juice for sweetness, more bubbles for lightness, and you're always right.
  • A frozen guava cube instead of regular ice keeps the drink cold without watering it down as the cubes melt, though I know that's sometimes too fancy for a five-minute drink.
