Ingredients
- 4 ripe kiwis, peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons elderflower cordial
- 2 cups sparkling water or club soda
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the chopped kiwis and lime juice. Blend until smooth and the aroma of the fresh kiwi fills the air.
- Strain the kiwi mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a jug to remove any seeds and pulps, resulting in a smooth, vibrant green juice.
- Add the elderflower cordial to the kiwi juice and stir well. The elderflower’s floral sweetness should marry beautifully with the kiwi’s tanginess.
- Fill four glasses with ice cubes, then pour equal amounts of the kiwi and elderflower mixture into each glass.
- Top up each glass with sparkling water or club soda, giving the drink a delightful effervescence. Stir gently.
- Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint. Take a moment to appreciate the drink’s beautiful presentation before serving.

- Serve in chilled glasses to maximize refreshment on a hot day.
Storage and Substitutions
