INGREDIENTS:
* 20mg THC total cannabis tincture
* 3 ripe kiwis, peeled and chopped
* 1 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced thin
* 1 oz fresh lime juice
* 1 oz agave nectar
* 6 oz chilled sparkling mineral water
* Fresh ice
* Garnish: Kiwi wheels and matchstick-cut fresh ginger
INSTRUCTIONS:
* Place the chopped kiwis and sliced ginger into a cocktail shaker.
* Muddle the kiwi and ginger thoroughly for about 45 seconds to extract the ginger juice and create a smooth kiwi pulp.
* Add the fresh lime juice, agave nectar, and the cannabis tincture (20mg total) to the shaker.
* Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 20 seconds to chill the ingredients and emulsify the tincture.
* Fill two tall glasses with fresh ice.
* Double strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the glasses, using a spoon to press the solids to get all the kiwi nectar out.
* Top each glass with 3 oz of chilled sparkling mineral water.
* Stir gently to combine the layers.
* Garnish with a thin kiwi wheel on the rim and a few matchsticks of fresh ginger.
CHEF TIPS:
Kiwi Ripeness: Use kiwis that are slightly soft to the touch for maximum sweetness and juice yield.
Ginger Intensity: If you prefer a milder ginger flavor, muddle the ginger less or use a splash of ginger simple syrup instead of fresh root.
The Strain: Double straining is recommended to remove the small black kiwi seeds and fibrous ginger bits, resulting in a cleaner, more professional mouthfeel.
Serve immediately. Enjoy the Kiwi Ginger Spritz responsibly 🥝🫚
