Tasting Notes

This Strawberry Kiwi Limeade is sweet, tart, and packed with fruit flavor. The strawberry lemonade and pucker bring a bold berry taste, while the kiwi liqueur and flavored vodka add a fresh tropical twist. Lime sour juice keeps things sharp and citrusy. When layered, you get a fun two-tone look that blends slowly as you sip. It’s smooth, fruity, and a little tangy. Great for when you want something playful and easy to drink.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a shaker, jigger, and a bar spoon. Use an 8 oz glass, like a rocks or stemless wine glass, to show off the color layers. A citrus press helps if you’re squeezing fresh lime juice. Garnish tools like cocktail picks are handy if you’re adding fruit slices or skewers for decoration.

Ingredients

1 oz kiwi strawberry vodka
1 oz kiwi liqueur
1 oz strawberry pucker
2 oz strawberry lemonade
1 oz lime juice
Garnish: fresh strawberry or kiwi slices

Instructions

In a cocktail shaker, combine strawberry pucker and strawberry lemonade. Shake well and pour into the glass filled with fresh ice, filling it halfway.
In a second shaker, combine kiwi liqueur, kiwi strawberry vodka, and lime juice. Shake until chilled.
Slowly pour the kiwi mixture over the strawberry layer, using the back of a spoon to help keep the layers distinct if desired.
Add fresh slices of strawberry and kiwi for a colorful, fruity finish.

Pro Tips

For best results, pour the second layer slowly over the back of a spoon to keep the layers from blending too fast.
Chill your ingredients before mixing to help the drink stay cold without watering it down.
Use fresh lime juice if you want a brighter flavor.
If layering is tricky, just stir before serving flavor comes first, even if the look blends.

When to Serve

It’s easy to enjoy and makes a fun signature drink for themed events, girls’ night, or backyard get-togethers. Its sweet, tangy flavor also makes it a good pick for folks who prefer low-proof drinks.

Which Liquor Brands to Choose

For the lemonade, go with a berry blend or homemade if you want a cleaner flavor.
