Guaraná is a soft drink that originated from the guarana fruit.

History

The processing of the fruit syrup began in Brazil in 1905 by Fara, a physician from the city of Resende, Rio de Janeiro. A soft drink factory, Guaraná Cyrilla, was launched by F. Diefenthaller in 1906 in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. The drink initially was astringent and markedly bitter and therefore its popularity did not spread. Antarctica developed a process to eliminate the astringency and bitterness, emphasizing the characteristic flavor and aroma of the fruit, launching Guaraná Champagne Antarctica in 1921. Today there are several brands of guarana soda available throughout Brazil.[1]

Another guaraná soft drink was created accidentally in 1920 by pharmacist Jesus Norberto Gomes, in the state of Maranhão. Jesus imported a gasification machine to produce a kind of magnesia fluid, a medicine famous at the time, with extracts of 17 ingredients from the Amazon rainforest, including guarana and cinnamon, but the business did not work. The pharmacist decided to make a drink for his grandchildren and pleased everyone. Over time, the taste of the pink drink has become less popular with people, but it ramains quite popular in Maranhão maintaining its original formula. In 2001, Coca-Cola bought this brand.[2]

In Serbia and other Eastern European countries, energy drinks based on guarana are marketed under this name, but without the same sweet flavor as the soda; they have a bitter taste and cardio-accelerating effect.[1]

Frequently asked questions

How do I use guarana powder in drinks and recipes?
Mix one scoop of Mana Rush guarana powder into cold water, sparkling water, coconut water, or a smoothie. It dissolves in about 30 seconds with a quick stir or shake. For a concentrated, shot-strength drink use 60–80 ml of water; for steady all-day sipping use a full glass.
Which Mana Rush flavor is best for recipes?
Mango is the most popular flavor for recipes and smoothies — it is naturally sweet and tropical, so it blends well with fruit, yogurt, and coconut water. Lemon and Raspberry also work well in sparkling-water spritzers.
How much caffeine is in one serving?
Each serving delivers roughly 200 mg of natural caffeine from guarana, with zero sugar. Start with one serving per day and adjust to your own tolerance.
Can I make a pre-workout drink with it?
Yes. Mix one scoop into water 20–30 minutes before training for clean energy that builds during your warm-up and holds through your session, without the sugar crash of canned pre-workouts.
