Kiwi Sunshine Spritz
๐ฅ A Refreshing Start to Your Brunch
Nothing screams summer like a vibrant, fruity cocktail, and this Kiwi Sunshine Spritz is a game-changer! The natural sweetness of ripe kiwi pairs beautifully with zesty lime and the effervescence of Prosecco (or sparkling wine). A hint of mint elevates the freshness, making it a light yet indulgent brunch treat.
๐ฟ Kiwi is packed with vitamin C, making this cocktail feel almost like a health drinkโat least, that's what we tell ourselves! Whether you're hosting a brunch party or just want a relaxing drink, this spritz is effortlessly fancy yet incredibly easy to whip up.
The best part? Itโs totally customizable! You can swap the Prosecco for club soda to make it non-alcoholic or mix in a splash of gin for a stronger twist. Either way, this cocktail is your new sunny-day essential!
