Serving Size 1

Equipment

• Cocktail shaker
• Muddler
• Fine-mesh strainer
• Collins glass
• Ice scoop
• Measuring jigger
• Knife and cutting board

Ingredients

Per serving:

• 2 ripe kiwis peeled and chopped
• 1 oz fresh lemon juice
• 1 oz simple syrup
• 4 oz soda water
• Ice cubes
• Kiwi slice and lemon wheel for garnish

Instructions

• Peel and chop the kiwis into small pieces.
• Add kiwi pieces, lemon juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Then, muddle until kiwis release their juice.
• Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds.
• Fill a Collins glass with fresh ice cubes.
• Next, double strain the mixture into the glass through a fine mesh strainer.
• Top with soda water and stir gently.
• Finally, garnish with a kiwi slice and lemon wheel.

Notes

Store simple syrup in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Make a mocktail version by skipping the simple syrup and using sparkling lemonade instead of soda water.

For best results, choose kiwis that yield slightly when pressed. They should be ripe but not mushy.

The drink tastes best when served immediately while the bubbles are fresh.

Tasting Notes

This bright and zesty cocktail offers a perfect mix of sweet and tart flavors. The kiwi brings a tropical sweetness while fresh lemon adds a crisp citrus kick.

The sparkling water creates tiny bubbles that dance on the tongue. These bubbles help blend the fruit flavors together and make each sip light and refreshing.

Primary Flavors:

• Sweet kiwi
• Tart lemon
• Light mineral notes from sparkling water

The drink has a pale green color with small flecks of kiwi throughout. When served cold, it’s most refreshing between 38-42°F.

The aroma combines fresh-cut kiwi with hints of lemon zest. These scents prepare the palate for the fruity experience ahead.

The texture is smooth yet bubbly, with small pieces of muddled kiwi adding interest. The finish is clean and leaves a subtle fruit sweetness that lingers briefly.

Serving Temperature: 38-42°F (3-6°C) Sugar Level: Low to Medium Alcohol Content: 0% (Non-alcoholic version) or 5% (With vodka)

Substitute

You can swap kiwi with other fresh fruits like strawberries, peaches, or mango for a different twist. Each fruit brings its own sweet and tangy balance to the drink.

Replace lemon juice with lime juice or orange juice. These citrus alternatives add different brightness levels to the cocktail.

For a non-alcoholic version, skip the vodka and use extra club soda or sparkling water. The drink stays fizzy and refreshing without alcohol.

Alternative sweeteners:

• Agave nectar
• Simple syrup
• Honey
• Stevia drops

Want less fizz? Still water or coconut water work in place of club soda. These options make a smoother, less bubbly drink.

Fresh mint or basil leaves can replace the traditional kiwi garnish. These herbs add a nice aroma and look pretty in the glass.

Consider ginger beer instead of club soda for extra spice and flavor. This switch creates a more complex taste with a stronger kick.
