Kiwi Mojitos

My bother loves Kiwi and we both like a nice drink, so when I found them in a local supermarket while in Sri Lanka and some left-over Bacardi, we decided to put the two together!


Ingredients

4 Kiwis 
2 teaspoons of Sugar
100ml / 4oz white rum
Handful of mint leaves
Sparkling water - Club Soda/ Seltzer
(Makes 2)

Directions

  • Puree the Kiwis in a blender and set aside
  • Muddle the mint leaves and sugar together
  • Add the Kiwi and Rum
  • Pour the Kiwi-Rum-Mint mix into two glasses and top-up the glass with soda/ seltzer
  • Sit back and relax with drink in hand :-)
Tips
  • Strain the Kiwi if you don't like the seeds. I find a metal strainer is easier to push the pulp through and keep the seeds out
  • Prepare the puree earlier and refrigerate to make the drinks faster
  • If you like your drinks a little sweeter, blend the sugar with the Kiwi
  • If you like your drinks very sweet, add simple syrup to taste (prepare simple syrup easily: microwave a cup of water for 1 minute, add a half cup sugar, stir to dissolve sugar, microwave another 30 seconds)
