You will find plenty of cocktail recipes out there that involve muddling and mixing in fresh fruits. These kinds of cocktails usually have some of the most stand out and delightful flavours, after all the best drinks are made with the freshest ingredients. For example, a Strawberry Daiquiri can be made with premade mix or fresh muddled Strawberries and if you try both you will definitely notice a difference.
The Kiwi Smash is another example of how fresh ingredients bring out the best in simple easy to make drinks. Kiwis tend to have a sweet flavour but are tarter and tangier than say a Strawberry or Pineapple, so this works well in combination with the traditional sweet and sour components of a cocktail ( in this case Sugar syrup and Lime juice).
The Kiwi Smash stands out with its own unique flavours and requires few ingredients to make , so if you love your fruity fresh drinks and want something easy and quick to make try it out.
Here is how it is made.
