Summertime calls for cooling cocktails and good company. After all, what could be better than relaxing with friends and family, a refreshing drink in your hand? Today we’re sharing a fruity summer cocktail to add to your repertoire: the Kiwi-Tini!
This cocktail is naturally sweet and simple, with blended kiwi, watermelon, and ice. We recommend using vodka, but a clean tequila or mezcal will work, too.
And if you’re just finishing up a cleanse, our Kiwi-Tini is a great way to slowly reintroduce alcohol. Giving up alcohol for two weeks can be a big deal, especially if it’s a regular part of your lifestyle.
Our biggest tip for consciously adding booze back in is to stick to recipes that focus on whole-food ingredients.
That’s why we have a whole Conscious Cocktail section on our blog. A conscious cocktail upgrades alcoholic beverages to an allergen-free version with natural ingredients and zero processed sugar.
All of our Conscious Cocktails are easy to adapt into mocktails, too! We know how great it is to have options, whether you like to imbibe or stay alcohol-free.
To make this recipe a mocktail, simply leave out the vodka.
