Ingredients

  • 4-5 fresh green kiwi peeled and sliced into coins
  • ½ cup granulated white sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 2 limes quartered
  • 6 ounces of rum
  • Club soda or sparkling water

Instructions

  • Add peeled kiwis to a food processor and puree.
  • Pour pureed kiwis into a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add water and sugar and whisk to combine. Bring to a boil, then let simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Place in the fridge to cool.
  • Prepare glasses. Pour 1 ounce of kiwi simple syrup into each glass. Add 2-3 blackberries, mint leaves, and a quarter of a lime to the bottom of each glass. Gently muddle to release the flavors, then fill glasses with ice cubes.
  • Pour 2 ounces of rum into each glass.
  • Fill glasses with club soda and garnish with fresh blackberries and kiwi slices. Give it a stir and enjoy!
  • Store any remaining kiwi simple syrup in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

To make virgin kiwi mojitos, omit the rum and add additional club soda or sparkling water.
