Tasting Notes
The Kiwi Cucumber Splash Mocktail has a light, crisp taste with a perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors. The fresh kiwi brings natural sweetness while adding subtle tropical notes.
Cucumber adds a cool, refreshing element that makes this drink extra smooth. The hint of mint leaves enhances the drink’s refreshing qualities without taking over the main flavors.
A splash of lime juice creates bright citrus notes that complement the kiwi’s sweetness. The club soda adds gentle bubbles that make each sip lively and fun.
Main Flavor Notes:
- Sweet tropical kiwi
- Cool, fresh cucumber
- Bright citrus
- Light mint
- Gentle fizz
The drink has a beautiful pale green color with tiny kiwi seeds suspended throughout. When garnished with fresh cucumber wheels and mint sprigs, it looks as refreshing as it tastes.
The texture is smooth with a gentle carbonation from the club soda. Ice-cold serving temperature brings out the drink’s most refreshing qualities.
Substitute
If fresh kiwi is not available, canned kiwi slices work well. Each fresh kiwi can be replaced with 3-4 canned slices. Drain the canned fruit before using.
No cucumber? Try using honeydew melon or green apple. These fruits add a similar crisp and refreshing taste. Use 1/4 cup of either option to replace the cucumber.
You can swap the lime juice with lemon juice at a 1:1 ratio. For a different twist, try grapefruit juice instead.
Club soda alternatives include:
- Sparkling water
- Ginger ale (reduces sweetness needed)
- Tonic water
- Sprite or 7-Up (reduces sweetness needed)
Note: When using sweetened sodas, reduce or skip the simple syrup.
For simple syrup replacements, try:
- Agave nectar (use 3/4 the amount)
- Honey (use 3/4 the amount)
- Maple syrup (use 1:1 ratio)
- Sugar-free syrup (check bottle for conversion)
Replace fresh mint leaves with 1/4 teaspoon mint extract or 2 drops food-grade peppermint oil.
