Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 strawberries fresh
- 1 kiwi peeled and sliced
- 1/2 ounce lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup equal parts sugar and water heated until sugar dissolves, then cooled
- 2 ounces bourbon
- Soda water optional, for topping
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Fruit:
- In a shaker, muddle the strawberries and kiwi slices. This means pressing them with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release their juices and flavors.
Mix the Drink:
- Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup, and bourbon to the shaker.
- Fill the shaker with ice, covering the liquid and fruit.
Shake:
- Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. The goal is to chill the mixture thoroughly and mix all the ingredients well.
Serve:
- Strain the mixture into a glass filled with fresh ice to catch any fruit pieces and seeds.
- If you like a lighter drink, top it off with a splash of soda water.
Garnish and Enjoy:
- Garnish with a sprig of mint and maybe a slice of kiwi or strawberry on the rim of the glass.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Kiwi & Strawberry Bourbon Smash!
