Vertigo Kiwi Cocktail

Ingredients :

• 2 oz premium gin
• 1 ripe kiwi
• 0.5 oz maple syrup
• 0.5 oz fresh lime juice
• 1 oz coconut water
• Sparkling water
• Fresh basilic
• Ice cubes

Instructions :

1. Peel and crush the kiwi in a shaker.
2. Add the gin, maple syrup, lime juice, coconut water and basil leaves. Mix lightly to release the aromas of the basil without crushing it.
3. Fill with ice cubes and shake vigorously.
4. Double-strain into a glass filled with ice cubes for a smooth texture.
5. Top up with a little sparkling water.
6. Decorate with kiwi slices and fresh basil for an attractive presentation.

Notes:
For those who prefer an alternative to gin, vodka provides a more neutral base that lets the flavors of kiwi, lime and maple syrup shine. The blanco tequila introduces depth with its earthy notes, and the white rum adds a signature sweetness that can complement the tropical nuances of the cocktail.
