Kiwi Cooler
Fresh, light and beautifully green, this Kiwi Cooler is inspired by refreshing, café-style summer drinks. Juicy kiwifruit brings gentle sweetness, strawberries add a soft blush, and a hint of fresh herbs keeps it crisp and grown-up.

TOP TIPS
· Don’t over-muddle the fruit – a light press keeps the drink fresh rather than pulpy.
· Turn this into a cocktail by adding 30 mL gin or vodka per glass.
· This drink is best served straight away while the bubbles are lively.
