Ingredients for kiwi cocktail
As mentioned, you only need a few simple ingredients to make this addictive cocktail with kiwi. Here’s everything you’ll need to get started:
Tequila kiwi cocktail
- Tequila – I use Silver Patron tequila in most of my cocktails, but you can use any brand of tequila you prefer.
- Substitution: Vodka, white rum, or gin can be used instead. The tequila can also be omitted completely when making a mocktail version.
- Kiwi – Always use fresh kiwi when making fruity drinks with tequila. The kiwi fruit must also be washed, peeled, and sliced.
- Substitution: Don’t like Kiwi? No problem! This cocktail can be made with various berries, citrus fruits, passion fruit, and more.
- Mint leaves – Fresh mint is crucial for this Kiwi drink recipe for the best flavor.
- Substitution: Shake things up by using basil, lemongrass, thyme, rosemary, or even cilantro!
- Granulated sugar – The sweetness from the sugar pairs beautifully with the kiwi and mint and is used to make the simple syrup at the beginning of the kiwifruit cocktail recipe. You can add more if you like your cocktail on the sweeter side.
- Substitution: To ditch refined sugar from your diet, use agave nectar, honey, or coconut sugar to make the simple syrup.
- Lemon juice – Always use freshly squeezed lemon juice. While bottled lemon juice is convenient, it’s never quite as bright and flavorful as freshly squeezed lemon! A blend of fresh lemon and lime juice is also an option.
- Substitution: If you use bottled lemon juice, I strongly recommend Nellie’s Famous Key Lime Juice. This brand tastes super close to the real deal. , which tastes pretty darn close to the real thing.
- Club soda – Soda water for the perfect fizz.
- Substitution: Sparkling mineral water, such as Topo Chico or your favorite seltzer brand, can be used instead.
- Garnish – A lemon wedge and kiwi slice are optional garnishes for this tequila Kiwi cocktail. While optional, these wedges add an extra squeeze of fresh acidic lemon in the cocktail while the Kiwi wedges add a touch of sophistication.
- Substitution: Lime wedge, a sprig of fresh mint, and a Kiwi skewer are other garnish options.
Tequila kiwi variations
This Kiwi drink recipe is easily customizable with simple ingredient swaps or add-ins. Let’s take a closer look:
- Make a mocktail. Turn your boozy Kiwi cocktails into alcohol-free beverages by omitting tequila and increasing club soda or adding Kiwi juice.
- Make a different fruit cocktail. If Kiwi isn’t your jam, consider making this drink with fresh berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, or other fruit that pairs well with mint – watermelon, citrus fruits, mango, and pineapple!
- Serving in a pitcher. I’ve served these kiwi cocktails in single glasses, but you could make a larger quantity and serve it in a pitcher for your guests to help themselves to.
- Stronger cocktail. For a stronger kiwifruit cocktail, increase the tequila!
How to make kiwifruit cocktail
This mixed drink with kiwis is a cinch to throw together. Here’s how it’s done:
-
Muddle: Add the kiwis, sugar, and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Grab a muddler and gently muddle the kiwis. Then add the mint leaves and continue to muddle, being careful to break apart the mint leaves, but not completely destroy them.
-
Add Tequila and Ice: Add the tequila and a handful of ice to the cocktail shaker. Seal the shaker with its lid and shake vigorously for 15 seconds, or until the shaker is cold to the touch.
-
Pour and Top with Soda: Pour the cocktail into a chilled glass filled with ice (straining is optional). Top the drink off with club soda and garnish with a slice of kiwi, lemon peel, and/or fresh mint leaves if using. Enjoy immediately.
Tips for making the best Tequila cocktail with kiwi
- Drink to taste. Always drink to taste when making fruity drinks with tequila. View this recipe as a suggestion and increase or decrease the amount of tequila and club soda as desired.
- Order of ingredients. Add the Kiwi cocktail ingredients first into the shaker, followed by the ice. This ensures better mixing.
- Large ice. I prefer large ice when making cocktails and smaller ice (crushed or chipped) will melt faster, diluting the cocktail flavor.
- Give it a reasonable shake! Shake the cocktail mixture for 15 minutes. The shaker should become frosted by the time you are finished.
- Add soda last. The soda is always added last to preserve the fizz.
- Straining is optional. While not necessary, if you want to be fancy or ensure that nothing unwanted ends up in your assembled fruity drinks with tequila, strain the shaken mixture into the serving glasses.
- Fresh ingredients. Always use the freshest ingredients when making simple cocktails like this Kiwi drink recipe.
FAQs: frequently asked questions
What is the best tequila for cocktails?
Stay away from cheap, gold tequilas when making kiwifruit cocktails. These cheaper brands are typically a blend of different tequilas and can include other ingredients that will contribute to an unpleasant hangover, not to mention affect the quality of your cocktail.
Look out for tequilas that mention “100% Blue Agave” on the bottle. Blanco, Reposado, and Anejo are three types of 100% tequila that are ideal for homemade cocktails.
Blanco is popular for its quality and affordability, with Resposado following, and Anejo being the most expensive.
Since this cocktail with Kiwi recipe includes other ingredients, I recommend using Blanco. You will definitely want to use Anejo tequila when serving shots!
How much tequila do I need for kiwi cocktails?
The golden ratio used by mixologists to create cocktails is 2:1:1 which represents 2 parts spirit (in this case, tequila), 1 part sweet (the mint and kiwi syrup), and 1 part tart (in this case, lemon juice).
Of course, this ratio can be adjusted to suit your personal preferences, including the strength of the cocktail, sweetness, and factoring in the addition of other ingredients, such as club soda.
What can I use instead of tequila?
If you don’t enjoy tequila, consider white rum, vodka, or gin. These alternatives will offer a boozy kick to the cocktail, but keep in mind that they all have subtle differences that will alter the overall taste of this kiwifruit cocktail.
If you plan on making this Kiwi cocktail for a party, make a test round a few days earlier with these different spirits to see which works best for you.
Can I turn these cocktails with kiwi into mocktails?
Absolutely! To make it an alcohol-free kiwi drink, add extra Kiwi-mint syrup, and replace the tequila with extra club soda, lemon-lime soda, or sparkling water!
Serving suggestions
Give this tequila Kiwi cocktail some extra pizazz with some of these garnishes:
- Lime or lemon peels
- Lime and Kiwi wedges
- Kiwi skewer
- A sprig of mint
- Cocktail Umbrellas
How to serve Kiwi drinks?
When hosting a social gathering, consider serving a larger quantity of this tequila kiwi cocktail in a large pitcher with serving glasses alongside that your guests can help themselves to.
Adding a bowl of fresh garnish (lemon and Kiwi wedges) is also a great idea and allows your guests to customize their drinks as they see fit.
If you feel like being fancy and serving these freshly shaken Kiwi cocktails in individual glasses, consider adding a sugar rim to the glasses. To do this, wet the rim of each glass with a wedge of lemon and dip it into a shallow bowl of granulated sugar. Allow the rims to dry before serving the fruity tequila drinks.
What to serve this Kiwi drink with?
If you’re looking to pair these kiwi alcoholic drinks with some food, try these options:
- An assortment of fresh fruit – skewered for convenience.
- Chips and Pico de Gallo or guacamole
- Ceviche
- Shrimp Cocktail
- Black Beans and Plantain Chips
- Crab cakes
- Quesadillas
- Tacos
Put your bottle of tequila to good work and pair your mixed drinks with Tequila Chicken and a few Sour Apple Cocktails.
Storage
How to store and how long does this kiwi cocktail recipe keep?
- Make these Kiwi cocktails ahead of time by mixing all of the ingredients, except the club soda and fresh garnish, and storing the mixture in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for 3-4 days. The soda and fresh garnish can be added to the glasses immediately before serving.
- Leftover Kiwi cocktail mixture can be frozen in popsicle molds or ice cube trays for future adult treats!
Can I freeze these drinks with kiwi?
Yes! I recommend storing leftover mint tequila kiwifruit drink in popsicle molds or ice cube trays that can be enjoyed as icy treats later.
What are you waiting for? Grab your muddler, shaker, a few cocktail glasses, and whip up a batch of refreshing fruity drinks with tequila in a matter of minutes. It’s a smashing drink that your friends and family definitely won’t forget!

You don’t see many cocktails that include kiwi! This is not only super tasty sounding but I love the look!
You come up with the prettiest, super creative cocktails, Cheyanne! Oh how I wish we were neighbors… Love the bubbly kiwi tequila combo here, so refreshing!
Shockingly these cocktails taste better than they look! Made a pitcher of these for the pool and they were the perfect sipper. Super refreshing. I’ll definitely make these again.
Do you know how much I love tequila? Because alcohol is a migraine trigger for me, I mostly avoid it. But I really, really want to try this! If anything is worth risking a migraine it’s a cocktail with kiwi :). Have a great week, Chey! PS, SuBourbon Country Cottage is the cutest name ever!
I remember this cocktail fondly Chey! Such a refreshing little beverage for any time of year! The beautiful bright color and delicious flavor of those sweet kiwis make it a winner on the cocktail list! Can you believe how the time has flown since you moved and named your house?!
I’ve not heard of this house naming either, but I like it. We named ours, but not officially. You neeed a name for your house my dear! Since you’re a fan of bourbon, and I though real hard about this… (ahem), how about SubourbanChickadee (I was trying to squeeze bourbon in there somewhere and given that you’re a country bumpkin, I’m not sure suburb fits). You remind me of a Chickadee because you spread your sunshine near and far! <3 I'm running out the door, but I will continue to contemplate this dilemma Cheyanne!
Now, about this drink. I too will embrace tequila for this… although I'd rather reach for the bourbon, I trust you… and no doubt if the Boy liked it, it must be good! My neighbor has a bottle I can borrow. Beautiful photography catching the essence of this cocktail…. I can see the ice was going fast! You made quick work of this my dear!
This cocktail looks right up my alley with the kiwi — one of my favorite fruits! It looks sunny and refreshing, and so pretty!
Just looking at this makes me feel so refreshed! I love kiwi and can’t wait to try it at home!!! Pinned 😀
They say you eat (and I suppose) drink with your eyes first…since this is the case, I am very full from the gorgeousness of your concoction! Stunning – refreshing-delicious! Hmmmmm – I love your invitation to help with the naming…we have a little place in the Adirondacks named Snowshoe Lodge….it really does capture its essence. Let’s see – what is the essence of your abode? I imagine a lot of laughter, cool hats, and an incredible foody paradise where nothing is eaten with a spoon. That’s all I got. Maybe you can pull something form this. Have fun, my friend! xo
This drink is awesome! I made it for guests and no one could stop drinking it. Very refreshing and pretty. Thanks!
Oh man…after a long week I would absolutely LOVE one of these right now. I’m not sure anything has ever looked more refreshing…!
Thank you so much, Annie! Hope the new job is treating you well! Cheers to a relaxing weekend!
Oh my goodness, these pictures are gorgeous! I love the lighting! It really highlights the effervescent fizziness. And the flavor combo is perfect. LOVE!!! As for naming your house, hmmm… No Spoon Farm? So happy to have left Orlando Estate? Clearly I’m terrible at this 🙂
Thank you So much, Maya! I LOVE all your photos, so that is a huge compliment!! I am totally laughing over your name suggestions- LOVE IT! Cheers, girl – to a wonderful weekend!
I love it when you post drink recipes because then I know what I’m making to drink over the weekend. YAY!! I have no idea what to name your house at this time, but I will be texting you with an extremely creative name this weekend after drinking a few of these (I’m gonna get smashed on the smash) Hey! Is that boy’s hand and grey shirt?? 🙂
Ha! Well, I’m more than happy to be picking out and preparing your weekend cocktails, Karrie! I’m holding you to that text and I can’t WAIT to hear what your clever-lil-self comes up with! Yes that is Boy’s hand in the last shot. He is my new hand model 🙂 I texted my MIL and thanked her for blessing Boy with beautiful hands. lol. Cheers, chickie! xo
What an awesome cocktail! The smashed kiwi is a great idea, and is so refreshing! I would love a tall glass of this!
Thank you so much, Shelby! Cheer and warm wishes for a fabulous weekend!
Everyone in my family names their car, but I had never heard of naming your home! What a cute idea! Sadly I have no good suggestions, but I am sure you will come up with something that is just perfect for your new home.
This drink is so perfect for this weekend (anything with tequila is a winner in my book!)!
I have always named my cars too! My girl (car) is named White Chocolate, she is a white 4Runner and I obviously named her that due to my cocoa allergy. 🙂 I agree, anything with tequila is #winning! Cheers, Sam – to a fantastic weekend!
I have never thought about naming our house, and I am not sure what I would name it. Something random for sure haha.
It is nearly the end of the working day and I am ready for a cocktail. I love tequila, but usually just have it as a shot. This looks really refreshing.
I’m sure whatever I name our house will end up be totally random, despite all this hard work thinking! 😉 Yay to tequila at the end of a hard work day AND work week! Cheers, girlfriend!
That’s funny, my husband jokingly named our house this summer after planting a little ceramic lion on a rock in the middle of our flowering shrubs in the front yard. He calls it Lions Gate Estate, but I think it would be more appropriately named The Carriage House at Lions Gate Estates (haha). Anyway, how fun is it to have everyone name their house?! Whatever you choose, I’m sure it will fit his/her personality! 😉
Love your drink, Chey! It is so fruity and refreshing. Seriously, I’m not a huge drinker, but it sounds like I’ll need two of these!
I LOVE that you named your home, Thao! And I love the name… but I love YOUR version of the name even more! That is tres chic and just perfect! I’m jealous! 🙂 Thanks so much for the kind words, girlfriend! Cheers to a beautiful weekend!
That is too cute! I’ve never heard of anyone naming their home before! I love your in-law’s name! Hmm that is a tough one. I think I would be stressing about it if I had to name my house, that’s such an important job! 🙂 Luckily we have lots of kiwi smashes to help us enjoy the process. Love this drink, Cheyanne! It looks so refreshing and absolutely gorgeous! Cheers!
I am totally stressing, Gayle! But I am also being realistic and thinking it may be perfectly acceptable to take up to a year to name your house? 🙂 Maybe I just need to take your advice and drink a few smashes while I think? Thanks for sweet comment and Cheers to a fantastic weekend, girlfriend!
A name for your house is quite common in India too! 🙂 And OH. MY: GOSH. This drink gorgeous, refreshing, inviting. I mean it has everything I need on a weekend! And that vibrant color of kiwi is seriously killing me girl! I need these beauties in my life! Cheers to this stunning drink! 🙂
Really, Anu! Thats so cool that naming your home is common practice over there as well! Thank you so much for the kind words about this cocktail!! Cheers to a beautiful weekend!
So cute that people name their homes! Gigglefest is the first thing that comes to my mind since you always know how to make everyone smile 🙂 This cocktail looks perfect!! So refreshing and delicious!
I love that name, Kelly! Gigglefest is so cute, plus it kind of sounds like the junior or daughter version of my in-laws- Laughalot! Thank you so much for the sweet comment and the name suggestion! Cheers to a fab weekend, girlie! <3
What a cute idea to name the houses! You should carefully choose the name for your house, Chey. That shouldn’t be a frivolous one. That has to represent you, guys too. Probably, you should get one associated with me because I’m one of your favorite bloggers, right? That could be even my mail address which would help you with food parcels. BenMaclain5200MainStreetTorontoOntarioCanadaL4k5yh. Sounds great, isn’t it? Yup, a bit long but unique! Approved. Cheers. Send these gorgeous coctails to celebrate!
I know, Ben! This is why I NEED your help! The name is SO important. I can’t take the pressure! 😉 I should totally just call it BenMaclainMannor. Nice ring to it. Right? 🙂 Your suggested name was a LIL’ long! Hope you have a fabulous weekend, buddy! Lots of Cheers your way! <3
We’re having a housewarming tomorrow and this would be the perfect drink to serve! Now just to find that many kiwis… 🙂
Thank you Dani! Hope you have a terrific housewarming party FULL of fabulous drinks and LOTS of great fun! I’m not sure how many people will be at your shin-dig, but Fresh Market has a good amount of Kiwi’s lol. Cheers, my dear! 🙂
I was began reading your post and taking this house naming job very seriously. I was thinking and thinking, and then as I kept scrolling and look at these mouthwatering photos of this cocktail, the thinking became less about names and more like need.this.drink.now! I feel drunk just looking at the photos! I wish I was a guest at your house…sperry’s and a cocktail!? Yes please!!! Another fantastic drink, Cheyanne. You are the gal whose party I would never miss!!! XOXO <3
Hahahaha! Beeta, you are TOTALLY forgiven for being distracted! I get the SAME exact way on your blog! I am reading.. reading.. reading. BAM picture and I’m all like, “wait whaa? *drooling too much*” You are invited over ANYTIME for cocktails and sperry’s. Lol.. that would actually be a really fun party! 🙂 Thank you for always making me smile girlie! I <3 you!!!! Cheers to a weekend as wonderful as you are!! xo
So refreshing!! and its got tequilla in it!! Total win win!! 😉 😉
Ha! I couldn’t agree more Arpita! Tequila = winning! 🙂 Cheers, girlfriend!
this is PERFECT for this weekend! it’s so pretty too 😉 I love bright drinks!
Thank you so much, Michele! Cheers to a beautiful weekend!
Whoa girl! These kiwi smash libations are seriously killer! Those photos are gorgeous and make me wish I had one (or two!) in my hot little hands right now. And would ya lookie there – it’s almost 5 o’clock on Thistry Thursday! Count me in. I would love to stop by and drink these on your front porch while we contemplate house names, but alas I have plans on this fine evening. We call our house Case de Boxer because we have 4 dogs, 3 are boxers and we used to always have a house full from fostering with a local rescue. We don’t have an official sign or anything. I’ll have to keep thinking about one for yours since this request came as a surprise today! You could always name it after your blog…..
Thanks so much, Rachelle!! Yay to 5 o’clock EVERY day! I am totally making your pretty pink libation tomorrow- already have Boy going to the store for me tomorrow! One of these days you will have to come over and cocktail it up with me! This is AFTER I come to Charlotte and learn how to brew from you- the master! 🙂 LOVE your house name.. very appropriate! I thought about a play on our house name and the blog… but mehhh. nothing seems to click. I’m worthless for clever ideas. #wompwomp Cheers to a fan-tabulous weekend, lovie! xo
How come I don’t have this in my hands??? I love kiwis but don’t enjoy them nearly as much. This cocktail is beautiful girl!!
Ha! Z, you probably don’t have this in your hands because you have a cutie patutie lil babes in your arms! 🙂 I love kiwis too, and I don’t use them often enough either! I figured paired with tequila in a cocktail would be a good remedy for that! Cheers, my dear! Hope you and the family have a fabulous weekend!
How about “Drinksalot?” Or “FoodieEstate?” Or “DeliciousnessAwaits?” 😉 I’m an N.C. native but we don’t do the house-naming here. Cool idea though – let us know what you decide on!
In the meantime, I’m going to have to face my tequila fears and make this drink. It looks so delicious I might just forget all about that time I got so sick. It was more than a decade ago – time to get back up on that horse!
Cheers to you my dear!
LOVE your suggestions, Kathryn! Thank you so much for taking the time to think of those!! <3 Where in NC are you from? (<--- have I asked that? I know you are from here) You should totally face your tequila fears for this smash, because Boy is NOT a tequila fan and he liked these. I simply used a tall glass and filled it to the top with club soda.. so these weren't strong. At all. But, I get your fear... I got sick off Goldschläger and I have NEVER been the same. lol. Cheers to a beautiful weekend, my sweets! 🙂
Considering the fact that you always make me laugh and I imagine that hanging out over at your house would be a riot, I would name your home Spamalot after the comedic Monty Python musical. But that’s just me, I have a really dorky sense of humor 😉
Love this cocktail my dear! The seeds create such a wonderful look and there really aren’t enough kiwi drinks in the world! It looks and sounds incredible!
HA! Spamalot. I die. Thats awesome, Kathleen! (LOVE that musical comedy!) I was kinda thinking of naming my house Nom-Nom Cottage. 🙂 You have that copy written? I LOVE your dorky sense of humor, probably because I GET it. I’m a HUGE nerd… and SO proud of it! Thanks so much for your suggestion AND the kind words! Your comments always make me giggle and smile! LOVE them AND you! Cheers, lil’ muffin- to a FANTASTIC weekend! <3 XO
Tequila and kiwi!! Love the combination.
We don’t have a name for our home, but my daughter just got a car and named it Stanley. Lol!
Thanks Christin! I have always named my cars too! My car now is called White Chocolate. For some reason naming a car is easy because it just represents me. The house name I have to get my husband to agree on – BUMMER. 😉 Cheers to a beautiful weekend!!
I just stared at the wall for a good five minutes while I thought of names for your house. But then I realized I’d have to see her to name her. I felt that way about my kids, fo sho. So next post, take a pic of your pad!
Any drink with the word “smash” in the name is a rock star. Gotta learn how to muddle like a champ the way you do!
OMG, I love you Mir! Thank you for blank staring at the wall for 5 minutes- all for ME and the sake of my house name! I’m honored 😉 Plus I can totally visualize you staring at the wall.. and i’m giggling. So thanks for that as well! I will have to post a pic of my house… but.but.butttttt, YOU have me all nervous if i do that then the “crazy serial killer people” will KNOW which house is mine. SO… hm. Torn. I live on the edge, so i’ll probably post a pic. 😉 Thanks for the sweet comment- smash is kinda rock star huh? Now I might just add “smash” to the end of ever post title.. example- Chicken Parmesan Smash. lol. totally sounds WAY better. You could be on to something there. 🙂 Hope you have a fantastic weekend, my sweets! Cheers! <3
Loving all the photos! I seriously need one of these right now!
I’ve never met anyone that has named their home! that’s pretty cool though, but i’m bad with coming up with a name! ha! Anyhow, Pinning this for later!!!
Thank you SO much Ana! I’m terrible at coming up with names.. or is that obvious? lol. Thanks for the pin and Happy weekend, girlfriend!! Cheers! <3
Hmmm…a name for your house. I was very recently at a house in Conestee, NC that was named Shepherd’s Croft. I will have to think on this, but I agree…the name is very important and needs to reflect your family including your furry daughters…what a fun job, naming your house. And a fun drink today also. Great smash, just in time for the weekend. So pretty! Love that green and such a beautiful glass too! 5 o’clock can’t come soon enough!
Shepherd’s Croft is SUCH a cute name!! I’m so glad you don’t think i’m nuts and agree a house name is totally important! Such a reflection on who you are! 🙂 Thank you so much for the kind comment- hope 5 o’clock has found its way to your area! Cheers, my dear!
wow can I just stop by for one, I am ok driving 8 hours if you meet me with one. These is one gorgeous cocktail! By the way, I messaged you on Pinterest 🙂
Katalina, You can stop by ANYTIME! We have plenty of room and I will totally greet you with one (or more) Kiwi Smashes! 🙂 You already know I read your Pinterest message. #PinterestLovin’ Cheers, my sweets! xo
I love that people name their homes! I’ve never heard of that!! Not sure about the name but I totally want a pair of Sperrys!!! I love those shoes! and I can’t think of anything better than sipping on this tequila-kiwi-smash and just chilling!
I love that people name their homes here too, Alice! But talk about the pressure! 😉 And, OMG- I LOVE that you want a pair of Sperry’s!! I have been rocking those shoes for YEARS (my closet is full of them)… I feel like obviously I was always supposed to live here given my shoe choice, because Sperry’s say comfortable and a lil’ stylish country. Anyways, this cocktail is totally perfect for just chillin… preferably in some Sperry’s. lol. Cheers, my dear- to a fab. weekend!
People name their homes around here too – it’s a pretty common thing to do at the beach! I need a name for mine. Maybe something boozy. Ha ha! Tipsy Kitchen? Love love love this smash and your photos are killer!
Yay to house naming! I am not surprised people around you name their homes… I know you live in a pretty dang tranquil and chill place. A boozy name is totally appropriate for both our homes… i’m thinking something with bourbon in it, given both of our love of utilizing it! 😉 Thanks so much for the sweet words, pretty lady! Makes my day! Cheers! <3
Prettiest drink ever! Love the flavor combo and the fizz!
Aw, Thank you so much, Allie! Your sweet comment totally made my day! Cheers, girlie- to a beautiful weekend!
Wow girlfriend this looks so refreshing and absolutely delicious! I love the flavors in this!!
Thank you so much, J! Hope you have a fantastic weekend! *I will be noshing on your fried shrimp, fo’ sho’!* Cheers girl!
Is it wrong that this drink makes me want to drink in the AM? These look so refreshing! Maybe its 5 o’clock somewhere :-).
Hahahahaha! Stacey, I won’t tell if you don’t! Food blog land is a safe place! 😉 Besides it is ALWAYS 5 o’clock somewhere! Cheers to a fabulous weekend, girlfriend!
I seriously don’t eat NEARLY enough Kiwis. I mean, I don’t eat them AT ALL. WHO AM I?
BUT with tequila, and on thirsty Thursday? I’ll POUND them back! Pinned!
I don’t use kiwis enough in recipes, although we do have them in our house often because Boy loves ’em. You need to hop on board the kiwi train, girlfriend. Especially paired with tequila… because umm hello? No excuse not to! 😉 Cheers lady!
now you’ve got me thinking that maybe I should name our apartment?! Oh, the possibilities. A few of these fab-o tequila smashes and I’m sure I can come up with something. 😛
Ha! You should toe-ts name your apartment Joanne! Let’s both just name our pads “smashed” and call it a day. lol. Let me know if you come up with something more clever… I didn’t set the bar too high, so i’m sure anything is better! 😉 Cheers, girlfriend!
Cheyanne these sound perfectly refreshing! Gotta love any cocktail with tequila in it and I’m lovin’ the kiwi too! YUM! This one will be pinned as the signature cocktail for the upcoming Labor Day weekend! Cheers!
Thank you, Mary Ann! I’m a huge fan of tequila and Kiwi, Boy doesn’t really like Tequila but even HE liked this libation! I always count that as a win! Hope you try them over Labor Day and LOVE them! Cheers to a beautiful weekend! Oh, and thanks for the Pin!! 🙂 xo
