Why are we not eating kiwi in more things? And why aren't we drinking kiwi in more cocktails? I demand an answer!

And after you try this kiwi cocktail, you're going to wonder why, too. And then you'll likely make kiwi a part of your regular cocktail making routine.

The pretty green fruit goes with so many other fruits and ingredients and the kiwi and pineapple combination is one of my tropical favorites. And since both go so well with mint, this pineapple kiwi mojito just makes sense.

Complete and utter delicious sense.

🥝 How to make pineapple kiwi mojitos

As with most of my cocktail recipes, this one is ridiculously easy to put together. It mainly just requires a little bit of chopping, namely a whole lotta’ pineapple and kiwi.

In fact, all you’re going to do is put the chopped pineapple, kiwi, fresh mint, and lime juice in your glass.

Muddle it really well to release lots of juice.

Add in some ice. And the rum. And top it all off with soda water.

Does it get any easier than that? I love the pretty kiwi color the drink turns out to be.

You can garnish it however you want... I used a pineapple wedge and a lime slice.

The flavors all work so well together and are the best tropical combination! I could sip on these all summer afternoon.

Usually when I make a mojito drink like this, I'd add in some sugar or simple syrup, but my pineapple was so naturally sweet, I didn't feel like I needed it.

I also considered adding in actual pineapple juice, but then decided against it. The muddled fresh kiwi and pineapple are really all you need to get the perfect amount of sweetness.

🙅‍♀️ What if I don't like muddled ingredients in my drink?

I love how pretty the muddled kiwi and pineapple look in this cocktail, but some people prefer not to have muddled ingredients in their drinks. The muddled fruit can make it a bit harder to sip.

If you prefer to keep all of the extras out of your drink, the solution is simple. Muddle the pineapple, kiwi, and mint at the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Add the remaining ingredients, put the top on, and shake well.

Then strain the liquid out of the shaker into an ice filled glass.

If you want, you can muddle the mint in the glass so it still looks like a traditional mojito.

As someone who is a big fan of mojito and other light rum based drinks, I really appreciate the addition of a fun flavor combination.

Pineapple and kiwi will be making a starring role in my summer from drinks to salads to salsas and more.
