Guyabano Juice

Guyabano Juice is a tropical drink made from soursop. It is sweet yet tangy and oh-so-refreshing! 

Like calamansi juice, commercially prepared guyabano juice is widely available at Asian supermarkets in my area. It is reasonably priced at about $0.80 per 8-ounce can and tastes pretty satisfactory. But if you have ever enjoyed homemade, you know there is no comparison.

While it may require a little more work than simply popping a can, making your own juice is really easy. I had to go through quite a few seeds to get to the precious fruit flesh, but one sip of the tangy, milky concoction and it was all worth the effort. It’s libation at its best!

Ingredients notes

• Guyabano- also known as soursop, guanabana, or custard apple is a prickly, pear-shaped tropical fruit from the same family as cherimoya. It has white, creamy flesh and a sour-sweet taste.
• Sugar adds a sweetness that balances the taste of the juice
• Lime juice – prevents the oxidation of the fruit, which causes it to darken. You can also use lemon or calamansi
• Water- add more or less according to taste

Buying guide

For optimal flavor, choose ripe guyabano. Look for yellow-green fruit with softened spines. It should have a sweet aroma and is slightly soft when pressed but still firm and hold its shape.

How to make guyabano juice

1. Wash the guyabano under cold running water. Peel the skin with a small knife. Cut the fruit into half and remove the middle rind. Remove the seeds from the flesh and discard them. Combine the seeded flesh and part of the water in a blender. Process until pureed. 
2. In a fine mesh strainer, strain the blended fruit and the remaining water to remove fruit fibers.
3. Add sugar and lime juice. Stir until blended and refrigerate to chill.

How to serve and store

Enjoy this refreshing tropical beverage, chilled or over ice. Refrigerate in a pitcher with a tight-fitting lid until ready to serve. Properly stored, it should last for up to 3 days.
