It combines your favourite lemonade with limeade along with fresh kiwi. It comes together in just a matter of minutes and is an invigorating drink for spring and summer.

1½ Tbsp. simple syrup
½ cup lemonade
¼ cup limeade or lime cordial

Variation:

• Optionally, rim the glass with green sugar or salt prior to adding the ice and pouring the drink.
• The base recipe is open for countless additions as well. If you want to turn it into a boozy lemonade, feel free.
• You can also add a layer of subtle flavour by using an herb-infused simple syrup (lavender is a favourite).
• If you like, top it off with sparkling water or your favourite clear soda.
