Kiwi Mint Mojitos

Kiwi Mint Mojitos

[I]t’s time we start perfecting our Porch Sit game.  

A Porch Sit is a late-afternoon gathering of friends, neighbors, a dog or two, a guitar or harmonica (optional), overlapping conversations, and sweet cold cocktails.  

A Porch Sit is vital to summer, happy relationships, and good health.  They stretch on into the evening and usually coincide with snacks, some sort of pasta salad, and a small dose of half-whispered gossip.

Cocktails are only part of the equation.  Part but essential.   

Kiwi Mint Mojitos

It’s cocktail time.  

Start with the freshness:  limes, kiwi, crushed ice and lots of rum.  

White or golden rum for this recipe.  Wait, do they call it golden rum?  I hope so and they should.  

Kiwi Mint Mojitos

Fresh lime juice together with granulated sugar.  Stir stir stir until the sugar is dissolved.  This lime-based cocktail will be very tart so I like to add a good amount of sugar.  

Kiwi Mint Mojitos

Fresh lime and fresh kiwi into the lime and sugar.  

Up next?  Something I like to call the smash-muddle.  Using the back of a spoon of a muddler to press mint and kiwi flavor into the sweetened lime juice.  

Kiwi Mint Mojitos

Glasses prepared with loads of crushed ice, a lime wedge or two, a few kiwi slices, and big fragrant mint sprigs for each glass.  

The cocktail is stirred with ice and divided among the garnished glasses.  

Kiwi Mint Mojitos

Add a splash of soda to fizzy the drink and dilute the sweet lime.  

Consider serving with a heap of Roasted Tomato and Feta Guacamole and crisp tortilla chips.  Maybe on one of those sunny days when you’re playing hooky from a responsibility or two.  Not that you do that… but it wouldn’t be the worst thing.
