Equipment

  • Equipment Needed: Cocktail shaker, muddler, strainer, serving glasses

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 2 ripe kiwis peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves plus extra for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or honey adjust to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 cup soda water or sparkling water
  • Ice cubes

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Step 1: Muddle the Kiwi and Mint
  • In a cocktail shaker, combine the chopped kiwi, fresh mint leaves, and sugar or honey. Using a muddler, gently press down to release the juices from the kiwi and mint. Aim for a mix that’s slightly chunky but well combined.
  • Step 2: Add Lime Juice
  • Squeeze in the fresh lime juice. This adds a zesty kick that balances the sweetness of the kiwi. Give the mixture a quick stir.
  • Step 3: Shake It Up
  • Fill the cocktail shaker with ice cubes, then cover it and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This will chill the drink and blend the flavors beautifully.
  • Step 4: Strain and Serve
  • Using a strainer, pour the mixture into two serving glasses filled with ice. Top each glass with soda water for that fizzy finish. Give it a gentle stir to combine.
  • Step 5: Garnish
  • Finish with a few fresh mint leaves on top for a pop of color and an extra burst of minty aroma.
  • Variations
  • Fruity Twist: Add slices of cucumber or a splash of pineapple juice for a tropical flair.
  • Herbal Fusion: Replace mint with basil for a different herbal note.
  • Alcoholic Version: Add a splash of gin or vodka for an adult twist on this refreshing drink.
