Sparkling water
2 cups
Fresh lime juice
1/4 cup
Kiwi
3 ripe kiwis, peeled and sliced

Instructions

  2. In a large pitcher, gently muddle the fresh mint leaves with the back of a spoon to release their aromatic oils and flavor.
  3. Fill two glasses with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the kiwi-lime mixture.

  5. Top each glass with sparkling water, stirring gently to combine the flavors without losing the fizz.
  6. Garnish each spritz with additional mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness.
