Guava cooler or guava or amrood welcome drink – This is one of the unique flavored drink I have tasted so far. Never can any one imagine that you can add spices like red chili powder, chaat masala in a cooler!! The twist in the drink is so unique that we can even serve this drink as welcome drink for a party or get together. I made this cooler for the first time and the flavors of drink where so mesmerizing that I had to share it here on blog. The ingredients used in the cooler are unusual.
In my wedding reception party we had guava flavored ice cream served to guests. The caterer were serving the ice cream after sprinkling some red chili powder and salt on top!! For me that was the first time when I had red chili powder and salt on a ice cream. The flavors were so good that I ended up having two icecreams in my wedding reception 😀 So I taught let me try this with the cooler and see how it turns out and it turned out really great.
For this guava cooler with a twist I have added red chili powder, roasted cumin powder (jeera powder), chaat masala, sugar and salt. The key ingredient that I feel is red chili powder. It gives a slight spicy tinch to the cooler. Don’t be scared of trying these flavors in drink. Just try once and you’ll understand how good it is 🙂
This is a non alcoholic mock-tail drink that you should definitely try and accommodate in your next potluck / dinner party / kitty party or even birthday parties. The unique taste makes it a perfect party drink.
