Kiwi Mint Margarita
Bright kiwi meets cool mint and fresh lime, layered over Comisario Blanco tequila for a margarita that is both vibrant and composed. An unexpected pairing refined into clarity, inspired by contrast and balance.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 oz Comisario Blanco
- 0.75 oz fresh lime juice
- 0.5 oz fresh kiwi (pressed or puréed, then strained)
- 0.25 oz agave nectar (very light)
- 3–4 mint leaves
- 2 drops saline solution
Directions
1. Kiwi refinement
Blend kiwi, then fine strain completely.
You want clean juice, not pulp or seeds.
2. Mint control
Do not muddle aggressively.
Lightly press or “clap” the leaves to release aroma without bitterness.
3. Balance
Taste before shaking:
- Kiwi should feel bright, not sour
- Mint should be present only in aroma
Method
- Add all ingredients to shaker
- Shake with ice (10–12 seconds)
- Double strain into chilled coupe or over a clear cube
Flavor
Bright kiwi opens with a sharp, almost electric edge, softened by a quiet lift of mint and anchored by pure agave.
What begins as tension settles into something composed.
Cool, precise, and unexpectedly balanced.
