- 2 oz fresh lime juice
- 3 oz simple syrup

- Club soda
- Ice cubes
- Kiwi slices and lime wheels for garnish
Instructions

Notes
The drink can be made non-alcoholic by replacing vodka with extra club soda.
Fresh kiwis work best - avoid using frozen ones as they become mushy.
Store any leftover mixture in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
For a sweeter drink, add an extra 0.5 oz of simple syrup per serving.
The fine mesh strainer removes kiwi seeds for a smoother texture.
