Method

Place the peeled kiwi pieces in a blender or small food processor with the simple syrup and lime juice, pulse until you have coarse puree. If you want an extra minty flavor for the mojitos, then add some mint leaves into the blender.

In a large pitcher, mix the kiwi puree with the rum.

Next add some ice cubes, mint leaves, and kiwi slices to the crushed kiwi and rum mix.

Add the sparkling water or sparkling lemonade, stir gently and taste. Add more rum, sparkling water, lime juice, or simple syrup if desired. Top off with additional ice cubes and mint leaves.
