Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Muddler
- Fine-mesh strainer
- Highball glass
- Sharp knife
- Cutting Board
- Ice cube tray
- Jigger or measuring tool
Ingredients
- 2 ripe kiwis peeled and chopped
- 2 oz premium vodka
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 1 oz simple syrup
- Club soda
- Ice cubes
- Kiwi slice for garnish
Instructions
- Peel and chop the kiwis into small pieces.
- Add the kiwi pieces to the cocktail shaker and muddle until they form a pulp.
- Pour in the vodka, lime juice, and simple syrup.
- Fill the shaker with ice and shake for 15-20 seconds.
- Double strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with fresh ice.
- Top with club soda and stir gently.

Notes
The drink can be made sweeter by adding more simple syrup.
Fresh kiwis work best - frozen ones can make the drink too watery.
Storing leftover simple syrup in the fridge extends its life to 2 weeks.
Double straining removes kiwi seeds and pulp for a smoother texture.
The recipe makes one serving and takes about 5 minutes to prepare.
