Tips for the Best Kiwi Mocktail
Use ripe kiwis
The softer and sweeter the kiwi, the juicier your mocktail will be. Hard kiwis won’t muddle as well and can taste overly tart.
Don’t over-muddle the mint
You want to release the mint oils — not pulverize the leaves into little green confetti. Gentle muddling keeps the flavor fresh instead of bitter.
Adjust sweetness to taste
Like your drinks a little tangier? Use less honey syrup. Prefer a sweeter sip? Add a splash more.
