What better way to kick off the weekend than by enjoying a nice, refreshing, drink?
I've been seriously addicted to kiwis lately, and after seeing this pin I knew I'd be making this particular cocktail stat. Similar to a mojito, this drink contains mint and lime, but unlike a mojito, it's vodka-based, not rum-based. The kiwis add a nice sweetness to the tart, crisp flavors of the mint and lime, resulting in a very smooth and refreshing sip. This will definitely be one of my favorites during the spring and summer months!
Kiwi Capiroska
Makes 1 drink
- 1 kiwi, peeled and diced
- 3 large mint leaves
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 1/3 cup vodka
- 1/3 cup diet citrus soda (I recommend Sprite Zero)
- additional kiwi for garnish, peeled and thinly sliced
*Recipe adapted from Spoon Fork Bacon
Fill a glass with the diced kiwi, mint leaves, and lime juice. Muddle ingredients until fully combined. Fill the glass with ice, and top off with the vodka and sprite. Give it a stir, and garnish with the thinly sliced kiwi. Then take a nice big sip!
Ahhhh - the perfect drink for the weekend. Wishing you a good one!
