Guava Spritzer
by Tarla Dalal
We have used pink guavas to make this drink; if you can't find any, you could cheat a little and add a few drops of pink food colour. You can make a large batch when guavas are in season and store it in a sterilized bottle and refrigerate. For ginger juice, grate the ginger and squeeze out the juice.
