Iced Guava Passionfruit Drink is the new pink drink that has joined Starbucks’ official menu! Now you can make this tropical drink at home! This DIY copycat guava drink recipe has the perfect blend of guava, pineapple and coconut flavor. It’s a dairy-free refreshing fruity beverage that takes less than 5 minutes to make.
Starbucks released some new coconutmilk-based iced drinks this year: Iced Golden Ginger Drink, Pineapple Matcha Drink, and this caffeine-free Guava drink. I have been ordering them a lot at Starbucks, but finally feel it’s time to make this refreshing guava drink at home.
This homemade iced guava passionfruit drink is a real deal and tastes just like the one from Starbucks, with the same soft pink color and delicious flavor. It’s one of the easiest Starbucks iced beverages to make!
What is Iced Guava Passionfruit Drink?
Iced Guava Passionfruit Drink is a new iced beverage at Starbucks. It’s described on Starbucks’ website as “Guava juice blend with notes of passionfruit hand-shaken with flavors of pineapple and ginger along with coconutmilk and ice for a deliciously smooth and creamy beverage to uplift your day.”
What is in a Guava Passion Fruit Drink?
- Guava Juice – It adds a tropical sweetness to this drink. You can buy it at your local grocery store or order online from Amazon.
- Pineapple Juice – Original Starbucks guava drink gets the pineapple flavor from the pineapple ginger syrup. I like to use pineapple juice which gives this drink a fresher flavor. If you prefer to use the syrup, you can order Pineapple Syrup online from Amazon.
- Ginger – To save time, I used ginger powder, but you can also use fresh ginger or stem ginger. If you are not a big fan of having ginger in your drink, you can skip this ingredient.
- Coconut Milk – It adds a silky richness and creaminess to this drink. Coconut milk beverage works better than canned coconut milk, which contains solid chunky lumps of the white stuff.
- Ice cubes
How to Make Iced Guava Passionfruit Drink at Home
1. Whisk together ginger powder and pineapple juice until dissolved completely.
2. Add ice to a cocktail shaker, then pour in the ginger and pineapple juice mixture. (If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, you can use any other large container with a lid that fits the container.)
3. Add guava juice.
4. Pour in coconut milk.
5. Secure the lid. Hold the shaker with both hands (one on each piece) and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds.
6. Fill a glass halfway with ice. Then strain the mixture into the glass. Serve and enjoy immediately.
Tips and Tricks
- To make sure the ginger powder dissolves properly, you’ll need to mix them with a small amount of liquid first. Mix very well until there are no clumps of powder in the mixture.
- If you don’t like the flavor from ginger, you can skip this ingredient, and it won’t affect the flavor or the color of your drink.
- For a healthier guava drink, use unsweetened coconut milk. As guava juice is very sweet, you don’t need to add any sweetener.

Since Starbucks unveiled this drink this spring, there’s been a lot of hype across Instagram and other social media. To most Starbucks fans, the new Guava Drink has been living up to all the hype and they seem to love it more than its sister drink Iced Golden Ginger Drink and Iced Pineapple Matcha.
The guava and coconut milk are more noticeable with a hint of pineapple flavor. You can hardly taste any ginger. Overall it’s an amazing refreshing drink great on a hot summer day!

An Iced guava passionfruit drink, without any passionfruit in. Interesting.
Add a good measure of rum in the mix, and you‘ll probably have a delicious cocktail! Got to try that.
