Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe Kiwi (peeled)
- 2 ounces Tequila (preferably Reposado or Anejo)
- 1 ounce Orange liqueur (Cointreau, Grand Marnier, triple sec, etc.)
- 1 ounce fresh Lime Juice
- 1 ounce Simple Syrup (or to taste)
- 1/2 cup ice
- Flaky salt (optional, for the rim)
- Kiwi slice (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients and equipment—a muddler or wooden spoon works perfectly for this cocktail.
- Muddle the Kiwi: Peel and slice your ripe kiwi into smaller chunks. Place them in your shaker, and using your muddler, smash them gently to release their juices.
- Add the Liquid Ingredients: Pour in the tequila, orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup.
- Shake It Up: Add your ice to the shaker and secure the lid tightly. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
- Pour & Serve: Grab your prepared glass and fill it with ice (if you like). Strain the mix into your glass, being careful to leave out any kiwi pulp that didn’t break down.
- Garnish: Add a slice of kiwi to the rim or float it on top of your drink for that Instagram-worthy finish.
- Enjoy: Take a moment to appreciate the beauty of your creation before you dive in.
Notes
For variations, consider adding jalapeño for spice, blending for a frozen version, or simply use sparkling water for a lower sugar option.
