Instructions

Notes
Store coconut cream in the refrigerator after opening. It will separate naturally - stir before using.
For a mocktail version, replace rum with coconut water and add an extra splash of lime juice.
Fresh kiwis work best, but frozen can be used in a pinch. Thaw and drain excess liquid before muddling.
Make ahead tip: Prepare the base mixture without club soda up to 2 hours in advance. Store in the refrigerator and add club soda just before serving.
