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.
