Flossy Aussie

The Flossy Aussie is a lovely, fresh fruit mocktail from Natalie Bovis-Nelsen's book, Preggatinis? (published by The Globe Pequot Press) which combines kiwi and kumquats. It's a delightful, lime green drink that is stunning on a brunch table and a very cute drink for baby showers. If you're wondering about the name, its by the one and only Nicole Kidman and is one that Bovis-Nelsen calls a "CelebriBaby Preggatini."

Ingredients:

• 3 kumquats, halved with peel on
• 1/4 kiwi, diced with skin on
• 1/2 oz lime juice
• 1/2 oz simple syrup
• 3 oz Glow Mama kiwi drink*, or kiwi juice
• 2 oz bitter lemon soda
• skewer of kiwi and kumquats

Preparation:

1. Muddle kumquats, diced kiwi, lime juice and simple syrup in the bottom of a mixing glass.
2. Add kiwi drink and shake with ice.
3. Strain into a martini glass, and top with bitter lemon soda.
4. Garnish with a fruit skewer on the rim of the glass.
