Instructions

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.
