Ingredients
- 1 kiwi fruit thinly sliced
- 2 strawberries thinly sliced
- 1 cup sparkling drink of your choice kombucha, tonic water, sparkling water, or sugar-free lemonade
- Ice cubes
- Optional garnish: mint sprig lime wheel, or edible flower
Instructions
- Wash and thinly slice the kiwi and strawberries using a sharp knife, making the slices about ⅛ inch thick so they'll stick better to the glass.
- Press the fruit slices gently against the inside of your glass, alternating kiwi and strawberry pieces to create a colorful pattern from bottom to top.
- Carefully add ice cubes to the center of the glass, which will push the fruit slices against the sides and hold them in place.
- Slowly pour your sparkling drink of choice down the side of the glass to avoid disturbing your beautiful fruit arrangement.
- Add an optional garnish like mint or lime if desired, and serve immediately while the drink is bubbly and the fruit is fresh.
