Kiwi Mango Mint Cocktail


This drink is screaming sunshine and freshness, making it perfect for spring and summer parties and patio brunches. The Kiwi Mango Mint is tall, light and refreshing and a nice fruity mix of kiwi (42 Below) and mango. Add to that the refreshing hint of mint and you have a fantastic drink. Using mango nectar creates a sweeter drink, but if only juice is available and you want the sweetness simply muddle some of the mint with a small amount of simple syrup. Even with the nectar, I found that releasing the essence of the mint into a dash of nectar via a short muddling session was worth the extra work.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 part 42 Below Kiwi Vodka
  • 5 parts mango nectar or juice
  • 8 mint leaves

PREPARATION:

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice.
  2. Add the mint leaves and vodka.
  3. Top with nectar or juice.
  4. Stir well.
