# What You’ll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 3 large ripe kiwis, peeled and diced
02 - 1 cup fresh blueberries, plus extra for garnish

→ Citrus

03 - 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (approximately 3 to 4 limes)

→ Sweetener

04 - 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus additional for rimming glasses

→ Herbs

05 - 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, plus extra sprigs for garnish

→ Spirit

06 - 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup white rum, to taste

→ Mixer

07 - 2 cups chilled sparkling water

→ Ice

08 - 3 cups ice cubes, plus more as needed

→ Decoration

09 - 1 tablespoon colored decorating sugar or sprinkles for rimming glasses

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - In a small food processor, pulse diced kiwis, sugar, and freshly squeezed lime juice until a coarse puree forms with visible fruit texture.
02 - Transfer kiwi puree to a bowl or pitcher and stir in white rum. Start with 1/2 cup and increase to taste.
03 - With a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush 1 cup blueberries in a bowl until juices are just released but not fully pureed.
04 - Rub a wedge of fresh lime around the rims of serving glasses. Dip moistened rims into colored decorating sugar or sprinkles for a festive effect.
05 - To a large pitcher, add half of the kiwi puree and some ice cubes. Layer in half of the mint leaves and a few kiwi slices if desired. Add additional ice, scatter in crushed blueberries, more mint leaves, and a handful of whole blueberries for color.
06 - Pour chilled sparkling water over the fruit and mint mixture. Stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust with more rum, sparkling water, or sugar as desired. Pour into the decorated glasses, topping each with extra ice, whole blueberries, and a slice of kiwi for garnish.

# Handy Tips:

01 - For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and add extra sparkling water or a splash of fruit juice.
02 - Crush blueberries gently to avoid a cloudy drink and maintain fresh presentation.
03 - Store the mixed fruit base without sparkling water in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, adding ice and sparkling water just before serving to preserve fizziness.
04 - Chill glasses beforehand for optimal temperature and a frosty finish.
