Kiwi-Rita Cocktail

Today we are sharing with you a new take on the Margarita that includes Kiwi fruit.  Somehow, in all of our cocktail adventures we have never used this wonderful fruit.  Its sweet-tart flavor work beautifully alongside the Tequila and lime and adds a new dimension to the classic.  It takes a bit of preparation to make the Kiwi puree but your efforts will be well worth the rave reviews you will receive.

The Kiwi-Rita

In a shaker glass filled with ice add:

• 2 Ounces Blanco Tequila
• 1 Ounce Lime Juice
• 1 Ounce Kiwi Puree
• ½ Ounce Agave Nectar (simple syrup in a pinch)

Shake and Strain into a Salt Rimmed Glass.   Either Over Fresh Ice in a Highball or Straight Up in a Cocktail Saucer.  Garnish with a Wheel of Kiwi.

Kiwi Puree

In a blender cup add:

• 3 peeled Kiwi fruits
• 2 tablespoons water
•  

Puree till smooth.  Strain through a medium fine sieve pushing the pulp through.  Store in the refrigerator (will keep for 3-5 days).
