Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 2 cups sparkling water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- Ice cubes
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Peel the ripe kiwis and slice them carefully into thin rounds, setting aside a few slices for garnish.
- In a blender, combine the remaining kiwi slices, lime juice, and sugar. Blend until the mixture is smooth and the kiwis are completely pureed.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer over a medium-sized mixing bowl and pour the kiwi puree through it, using a spatula to press and extract all the liquid while leaving behind the seeds.
- Fill four tall glasses with ice cubes, filling them about halfway to ensure the drink stays chilled.
- Divide the strained kiwi-lime mixture evenly among the glasses, filling each about one-third of the way.
- Slowly pour sparkling water into each glass, gently stirring to combine the kiwi mixture and create a vibrant green-white layered effect.
- Garnish each glass with reserved kiwi slices and a few fresh mint leaves for added visual appeal and aromatic flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing Halloween-themed spritzer while it's cold and bubbly.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Kiwis: For the best flavor, make sure to select ripe kiwis that yield slightly when pressed. This ensures a sweeter and more flavorful drink.
- Chill Your Glasses: For an extra refreshing experience, chill your glasses in the freezer for a few minutes before serving the spritzer.
- Adjust Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to suit your taste. If you prefer a less sweet drink, start with less sugar and add more as needed.
- Add a Splash of Color: For an even more festive look, consider adding a splash of cranberry juice or a few drops of food coloring to the kiwi mixture before serving.
- Garnish Creatively: Use fun garnishes like spooky-shaped ice cubes or colorful straws to enhance the Halloween theme and make your drink more visually appealing.
- Serve Immediately: This drink is best enjoyed fresh and bubbly, so prepare it just before serving to maintain its effervescence.
- Experiment with Flavors: Don’t hesitate to mix in other fruits like strawberries or pineapple for a unique twist on the classic kiwi flavor!
