Soursop Nectar

Soursop nectar is a ready-to-drink canned beverage made from the pulp of the soursop fruit, blended with water and sugar. It has a thick, smoothie-like consistency and a sweet, tropical flavour that captures the distinctive creamy-tart character of the fresh fruit. The drink is widely popular in Latin American countries, where it is known as néctar de guanábana, and across parts of Southeast Asia.

In Australia, soursop nectar is found in the international foods aisle of larger supermarkets and in Asian or Latin American grocery stores. It is typically served chilled as a refreshing drink on its own, or used as a base for cocktails and mocktails. Its thick, pulpy texture also makes it a useful ingredient in smoothie bowls and tropical desserts.

Canned soursop nectar offers a convenient way to enjoy the fruit’s flavour without the challenge of sourcing and preparing fresh soursop, which has a very short shelf life once ripe.
