KIWI LIME VODKA SMASH
Such a unique combination of flavors.
Ingredients (1 cocktail):
* 2 ripe kiwis, peeled (plus 1 slice for garnish)
* 2 oz vodka (or gin for a more botanical flavor)
* ¾ oz fresh lime juice
* ½ oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
* 4–6 fresh mint leaves
* Ice
* Club soda (optional, for a lighter version)
Instructions:
1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the peeled kiwis and mint leaves until the fruit is broken down and juicy.
2. Add the vodka, lime juice, simple syrup, and a handful of ice.
3. Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds.
4. Double strain into an ice-filled rocks glass or coupe to remove the kiwi seeds (or single strain if you don’t mind the texture).
5. Top with a splash of club soda if you’d like a sparkling cocktail.
6. Garnish with a kiwi slice and a sprig of fresh mint.
