Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine Hawaiian guava, Dole tangerine juice, banana, and cream of coconut in a blender.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, you can use full-fat coconut cream instead of cream of coconut. If Hawaiian guava is unavailable, you can substitute it with passion fruit or a mix of mango and pineapple for a tropical flair. For added sweetness, consider blending in a tablespoon of honey or agave syrup. This cocktail can also be made with frozen fruit for a slushier consistency.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this refreshing Baptist Cocktail in chilled glasses, garnished with a slice of banana or a sprig of mint for a touch of elegance. It pairs beautifully with light appetizers such as shrimp cocktails or tropical fruit platters. For a fun twist, consider adding a splash of rum for an adult version that complements summer gatherings.

This cocktail is best served fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To enjoy it later, give it a good shake or stir before serving, as separation may occur. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change once thawed.
