Ingredients

For the Kiwi Syrup –

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 4 Kiwi’s, peeled and sliced

For the Gin Cucumber Kiwi Cocktail –

• 30 ml gin
• 1/2 sliced cucumber
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 60 ml kiwi simple syrup
• 1 cup ice, to shake with

Directions

For the Kiwi Syrup –

Bring the sugar and water to a soft boil until sugar is dissolved. Add in the kiwi and simmer for about 15 minutes. Then remove from heat and let it sit for another 30 mins so the kiwi flavour infuses. Then, pour it through a mesh sieve and then into a glass bottle to store.

For the Gin Cucumber Kiwi Cocktail –

In a cocktail shaker, add in all of the ingredients. Gently muddle cucumber. Fill with ice and shake really well for at least 35 seconds. The more you shake and let the ice dissolve, the better. Strain into a coup or tall thin glass and serve chilled!
