Modern Mixologist Green Goddess

– Recipe courtesy of Chef Tony Abou-Ganim of Modern Mixologist, Las Vegas

INGREDIENTS:

• 6 Zespri® Green Kiwifruit
• 2 oz (56.8 ml) simple syrup, divided
• 2 oz (56.8 ml) fresh lemon juice, strained
• 1-1/2 oz (42.6 ml) Plymouth Gin
• 1/2 oz (24.2 ml) Green Chartreuse

METHOD:

1. Slice kiwifruit into halves and scoop the pulp out into a food processor. Add 1 oz (28.4 ml) simple syrup and puree for 15 seconds, taking care not to crush the kiwifruit seeds.
2. Pour lemon juice, gin, 1 oz kiwifruit puree, simple syrup, and Green Chartreuse into a cocktail shaker. Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into ice-filled Collins glass.

No garnish needed, as the kiwifruit seeds do the trick.
