It’s October and the sun is still shining, the warm weather is lingering and the kids are even splashing in the pool. But, that’s the norm, right? We live in California!

One of the best perks of living in this great state is that we can drink “summer” cocktails year-round.

Delicious kiwis are ripe and ready at your local farmer’s market or grocery store, so make sure to stock up! Not only is the taste sweet and refreshing, the presentation is impressive with the kiwi’s seed flecks suspended throughout the drink.

Let’s make a batch of kiwi margaritas:

Kiwi Margaritas Ingredients: Kiwi, Lime, Salt, Tequila, and Triple Sec

to make this kiwi cocktail recipe, you’ll need:

  • 4-6 kiwis
  • 2 limes
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup tequila
  • 1/3 cup triple sec
  • Ice
Sliced Kiwis

The first step is to remove the skins from the kiwi and cut in half.

Now, back to the kiwi margaritas:

Place the cut kiwis into a blender and include the juice of two limes and the sugar. Equally important, join in both liquors.
