Kiwi Coconut Crusher Mocktail Recipe
Equipment
- Knife and cutting board
Ingredients
The quality of ingredients matters. Choose kiwis that yield slightly to gentle pressure for optimal sweetness. Additionally, canned coconut milk provides a richer flavor than carton varieties.
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: If using coconut rim, spread honey on a small plate. Place coconut flakes on another plate. Dip the rim of each glass in honey, then in coconut flakes.
- Make kiwi puree: Add peeled and chopped kiwis to a blender. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
- Mix the mocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine kiwi puree, coconut milk, coconut water, lime juice, and honey.
- Strain and serve: Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into prepared glasses filled with ice.
- Garnish: Add a slice of kiwi to the rim and a few mint leaves on top.
For best results, serve immediately while cold and fresh.
