Equipment

  • Serving glass
  • Saucepan
  • Measuring cup
  • Squeeze-bottle

Ingredients
  

  • White grape juice
  • Green coffee extract
  • Kiwi
  • Starfruit
  • lemonade
  • sugar
  • Ice

Instructions
 

  • Make the syrup that will be used to sweeten the drink by putting sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture slowly until the sugar dissolves.
  • Once the sugar dissolves, leave the syrup to cool to room temperature then refrigerate the mixture in a squeeze bottle.
  • Dice the kiwi and starfruit into small pieces.
  • Put the pieces of kiwi and starfruit, green coffee extract powder, lemonade, one ounce of the syrup prepared, and ice into a cocktail shaker and shake well.
  • Pour the mixture directly into a serving glass. Do not strain it.
  • Garnish kiwi, mint, or starfruit, and enjoy!

Notes

  • I love having a creamy consistency to my refresher so I include sweetened coconut milk when preparing it. This also makes the drink sweeter. An alternative to coconut milk is sweetened almond or oat milk.
  • You can also skip the green coffee extract if you don’t want caffeine in the drink. Green tea matcha is also an amazing alternative to green coffee extract.
  • You can use either store-bought lemonade or you can prepare some at home. In the same regard, you can skip the lemonade altogether if you don’t want the tangy flavor.
  • I realized kiwis tend to go bad quite quickly. Not to mention they can be expensive. An amazing substitute for kiwis is strawberries. Just slice them into small pieces and infuse them in your drink. It will taste amazing!
