What's the difference between green kiwi and gold kiwi?

As the name suggests, greek kiwi is bright green and gold kiwi is golden yellow. Gold kiwi also has smoother skin and the flesh is usually softer and almost melts in your mouth. The flavor of gold kiwi is sweeter and more mellow than green kiwi.

It's a classic mojito with added kiwi. It's different and the flavors work awesome together!

Is mojito a strong cocktail?

It contains 2 oz of white rum which would make it fairly strong but adding the soda water makes it very easy to drink. It doesn't taste like a strong cocktail but those are dangerous because they taste like juice but there is more than 1 shot of alcohol so keep that in mind and drink responsibly!

How can I make it non-alcoholic?

Simply omit the white rum and keep all the other ingredients the same. You can add a splash more of the club soda to make up for the 2 oz loss.

Can you make this in a pitcher?

Technically, you could but I don't recommend it. Once you add the club soda, it will lose the fizz after sitting out for more than half an hour. It might also be difficult to pour properly with all the fruit.

Instructions

Reserve a slice or two of each of the kiwi and the lime for garnish. Peel the rest of the kiwi and roughly chop it. Cut the lime into thick rounds and into quarters.
Add both to a tall glass along with the fresh mint leaves and agave or maple syrup if using. Muddle using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon.
Pour in the white rum and mix using a long spoon.
Fill the glass with the ice cubes or crushed ice and add the reserved slice of kiwi and lime.
Top up with the sparkling water and serve with a straw if desired.

Notes

I don’t peel the kiwi slice I reserve for garnish but I recommend peeling the rest of it that you’re going to muddle. Peeling the lime isn’t necessary.

If you want your cocktail to be clear, you could do the mixing and muddling in a cocktail shaker without the sparkling water, pour it over ice, and then top up with the sparkling water. I prefer doing it in a glass because the kiwi gets mushy once you muddle it and it might make it hard to pour all the liquid out of the cocktail shaker.

The nutritional info is counted without any sweetener and is only an estimate.
