Tequila + kiwi = taste buds are smashed with refreshingly delicious flavor. Too simple of a description?
This cocktail is fruity, mint-ificent, slightly sweet, and super effervescent. It is not overwhelmingly potent at all, so if you like your drink stiff, simply add more tequila. This cocktail is the perfect way to start the weekend. It is pretty and delicious.
So grab your muddler and some tall glasses. Sip on this kiwi tastiness. Until next time, cheers friends! *clink clink*
