Kiwi Coast Spritz

Kiwi Coast Spritz takes a New Zealand-inspired direction, with kiwi tang, clean sparkle and coastal freshness. It gives the drink a clearer sense of place than a generic modern cocktail.

Kiwi Coast Spritz

Description

Kiwi liqueur supplies the green fruit, with Sauvignon cordial bringing a wine-like aromatic note. Sparkling wine gives the sip lift and lemon peel leaves it fresher on the nose. If you like a fruit spritz, this takes it towards green orchard and vine fruit rather than berries or peach.

Ingredients

  • 40 ml Vodka
  • 20 ml Kiwi liqueur
  • 10 ml Sauvignon syrup cordial
  • 60 ml Sparkling Wine
  • Ice
  • Lemon twist

Equipment needed

Bar Spoon – Used to stir the drink smoothly with ice before serving. Muddler – Useful for gently pressing herbs, fruit or sugar when building the drink. Bottle Opener – Useful if the serve uses bottled soda, ginger beer or sparkling wine.

Instructions

  1. Add the spirit, citrus and flavouring ingredients to a shaker with ice.
  2. Shake briefly until the base is cold.
  3. Strain into the serving glass filled with fresh ice.
