Kiwi collins the brother of Tom collins instead of gin use vodka. Kiwi fruit gives this cocktail a unique flavor that will make your next cocktail party a hit.
The Kiwi Collins is a bright, refreshing cocktail that puts a tropical twist on the classic Tom Collins.

Kiwi is the ingredient that gives this cocktail its signature flavor and appearance. When muddled or blended, ripe kiwi releases its juicy sweetness and slightly tangy tropical notes. The fruit adds natural freshness and a soft texture that pairs beautifully with the sparkling nature of the drink. Kiwi also gives the cocktail a vibrant green hue that instantly catches the eye and makes it feel fun and inviting.
Fresh lemon juice provides the classic Collins-style citrus backbone. Its bright acidity balances the sweetness of the kiwi and keeps the cocktail crisp and refreshing. The lemon adds a clean finish that prevents the drink from becoming overly sweet while enhancing the fresh fruit flavors.
Gin is traditionally used as the base spirit in a Collins cocktail, and it works wonderfully here. The botanical notes in gin complement the kiwi and citrus, adding depth and complexity without overpowering the fruit. For a lighter, more neutral flavor, use vodka as an alternative.
A touch of simple syrup helps smooth out the tartness and creates a perfectly balanced cocktail. Combined with club soda, the drink becomes light and bubbly, making each sip refreshing and easy to enjoy.
The Kiwi Collins is typically served over ice in a tall glass and garnished with kiwi slices, lemon wheels, or fresh mint. These simple garnishes add extra color and aroma while enhancing the tropical feel of the cocktail.
Light, sparkling, and full of fresh fruit flavor, the Kiwi Collins is a refreshing cocktail that offers a modern and tropical take on a timeless classic.
