Cocktail Friday: Kiwi lemongrass Caipiroska

July 11, 2014, Last Updated October 29, 2016 — by Lucy Parissi 4 Comments

Kiwi Caipiroska

Cocktail Friday broadcast is going out slightly later than usual today. Busy day… busy, busy day… 
All the more reason to indulge in a cocktail, especially a sunny one like this Kiwi Lemongrass Caipiroska, since the weather in Londontown has been anything but sunny lately. My husband described it as ‘not so much July as a soft launch for October’ and it really has been dreary, gloomy, rainy and 50 shades of miserable lately – at least where I am. I have been reliably informed that the sun shines elsewhere but I am not sure I believe it.

This is another super easy cocktail which doesn’t call for a shaker and only one spirit – vodka. If you happen to somehow have Kiwi Schnapps in your cupboard feel free to add some but I can’t say I have ever come across anyone who does…

    Cocktail sounds delicious. I got Kiwi Schapps in Crete once, but haven't seen it anywhere else.
