Green kiwi juice can be very sour and you need to balance the sour taste with some sort of sweetness. I’m using sugar syrup in this recipe but you may use honey, maple syrup, or simply add some apple juice. The kiwi fruit gets sweeter as it ripens and the flesh soften. So you may use ripened kiwi for less sour taste. Another variety of kiwi is golden kiwi, it is naturally sweeter in taste. You can also use golden kiwi in this recipe. For further punch, I’m adding lemon soda to the drink which makes it a frizzy drink to serve to guest as a welcome drink. But, it is optional. I won’t spoil anyone with frizzy fresh juice if it is not a party. Lol.
How to prepare it?
There are two way to prepare kiwi fruit for any recipe. One is peeling the kiwi and slicing it as needed. You can peel kiwi skin with a peeler or knife. This method is suitable for firm less ripened kiwi. Another method is to divide kiwi into two halves and scoop the flesh with a spoon. This scooping method should be used for softer ripened kiwi.
How to make it?
Boil sugar, water and mint in a pot until sugar melts. Cover the pot and let mint flavors get infused in the sugar syrup for about minutes. Remove the wilted mint leaves from sugar syrup and discard. Blend kiwi, lemon juice, sugar syrup, and ice until smooth. To serve kiwi drink: First, add ice 1-2 ice cubes to the glass, then fill half of the the glass with blended kiwi juice. Gradually top up with lemon soda and place mint leaves on top. Add a straw and serve. Want more drinks like this? Try these!
