FAQ's
What is soursap juice, and where can I find it?
Soursap juice is extracted from the soursap fruit (also known as graviola or guanabana), which has a sweet and tangy flavor. You can typically find it in tropical fruit sections of grocery stores, specialty shops, or in the juice aisle. In some regions, it might also be available in frozen form.
What is the best method to prepare the Surfing Soursap cocktail?
To prepare the Surfing Soursap cocktail, add the soursap juice, lime juice, sugar, mint leaves, and white rum to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well until the mixture is cold. Strain into a cocktail glass and top with soda water to taste. Stir gently and garnish with a sprig of mint if desired.
Can I use a different type of rum in the Surfing Soursap cocktail?
Yes, you can substitute white rum with another type of rum, such as light or gold rum. However, keep in mind that darker rums like spiced or aged rums might alter the flavor profile of the cocktail significantly, giving it a richer and more intense taste.
How can I make a non-alcoholic version of the Surfing Soursap cocktail?
To make a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the white rum and replace it with extra soda water or a non-alcoholic spirit that mimics the flavor of rum. You can also add a splash of pineapple or coconut water for additional flavor.
What are some good food pairings with the Surfing Soursap cocktail?
The Surfing Soursap cocktail pairs well with light and fresh foods such as seafood dishes (like ceviche or grilled shrimp), salads with citrus or tropical fruits, and appetizers like bruschetta or avocado toast. The fruitiness and minty notes of the cocktail complement these flavors nicely.

loved this refreshing mix! the soursap juice and lime blend perfectly with the mint, and the hint of sugar balances it beautifully. The white rum adds a nice kick without being overpowering. Definitely a go-to for a flavorful, light drink.
