6 parts carbonated lime soda
2 parts lemonade
2 parts guava nectar
1.5 parts grenadine syrup

Preparation
Fill highball glass with ice.

Pour rum into glasses over ice, then evenly layer the guava mixture over the rum.

Notes
Lemonade or lime soda can be replaced with non-carbonated beverages based on preference.
The traditional Cuban version of the cocktail does not include grenadine, replacing it with an equivalent amount (2 cl, 1.5 parts) of extra guava nectar.
Guava nectar can be replaced with boiled-down guava juice thickened with sugar for a more watery cocktail.

A cuban sunset is cocktail made from rum and a mixture of lemonade, lime soda, guava nectar, and grenadine syrup.
