A vodka soda with everything done to it: chilli-infused vodka, clarified guava, its own acids, force-carbonated, a guava-salt rim.
What makes it vodka y soda
Vodka infused with pasilla and guajillo chillies
Guava purée treated with pectinase, then clarified with agar and run through a coffee filter
The clear guava made into a cordial with sugar and tartaric and malic acids, with a little falernum
Force-carbonated in batches; a rim of guava salt
Where it comes from
Inspired by Boing, the Mexican guava soft drink, it became the best seller at Superbueno, the East Village bar Ignacio "Nacho" Jiménez and Greg Boehm opened in 2023.
The bar has said how it's made, but not in what amounts — so a version of it is a real project: every component is a technique.
