From Tails of the Cocktail 2010: Aukland Summer Punch

This kiwi-vodka drink was Kat's favorite...

  • 1 ripe kiwi
  • 2 oz Sauvignon Blanc
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup
  • 1 oz Square One Cucumber
  • 1/2 oz Dry Sake
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • kiwi for garnish
  • lemon peel for aromatic
Muddle kiwifruit wine and simple syrup. Add remaining ingredients, stir and chill. Double strain into a rocks glass. Garnish with half moon slices of kiwi and lemon peel.

Simple mixed drink, thought it was refreshing:

Equal parts of Martini Bianco and soda with a squeeze of lemon. Use a big lemon rind as an aromatic.
