If you’re looking for a fabulous cocktail recipe for all of your Thanksgiving guests then look no further because I’ve got you covered! Using fresh, seasonal fruits we create a harmonious libation using only 4 ingredients. So even though this may look like a fussy drink, it doesn’t take much elbow grease to present a cocktail your guests won’t soon forget!
The simple ingredients list combines tart kiwi, sweet tangerines, classic bourbon and simple syrup. The result is a mellow and refreshing cooler that might make you not stop at just one.
The big (and I mean that literally) secret here is these gigantic kiwis! They are actually called Mega Kiwi and are grown right here in California.
They have more fruity flesh to fuzz ratio! Less peeling and more fruit = Easy prepping
Tangerines are in full swing here in the Golden State and just look at these I got my hands on… juicy, bright and full of sweetness!
You start by muddling the kiwi in the bottom of a cocktail shaker
Add the tangerine juice, bourbon, simple syrup, and ice
And shake until well mixed.
Strain into ice-filled glasses and garnish with a halved kiwi slice
Well, hello gorgeous! Fancy meeting you here…
