Kiwi Margarita Recipe

The Kiwi Margarita blends fresh kiwi juice with lime, tequila, orange liqueur, and a homemade simple syrup for balanced sweetness. The kiwi is pureed and strained to remove pulp, creating a smooth, bright base. Rimming glasses with salt or sugar complements the cocktail's tangy, fruity flavor. Served over ice with a lime wedge garnish, this drink combines refreshing citrus and tropical notes.
